I am requesting 1 charge cart to charge computers daily to obtain 21st century skills to be successful. Having the computer charge cart will allow for different structures of learning in my classroom with fully charged computers. 1 way they will be used is as a STEAM center. Students can look up pictures, and how to build and design their own robots out of Legos and mechanical parts. Another way they will be used is by recording the results of an experiment. Recently, we investigated how the size of bubbles vary with soap and various liquids. Students could take pictures of their results at different time intervals and record observations through notes. They could collaborate on group findings by sharing through the cloud. I could download apps for various math practice skills for a math center, which would allow me to have activities for both my highest performing and most struggling students. All of these project
