Chrome books for Creston!

Funded Mar 27, 2018

At Creston Academy, I use technology as much as I can to help my students become more technology savvy through their use of technology. I use laptops in the classroom for students to take an on line assessment, SRI to reveal students' reading level. I use the reading level to know what books students should read and how to work with them to build their reading level. I also use Goggle Classroom to help students with writing essays and developing presentation slides. I am able to help students by being able to edit their essays at home so many students can edit and revise their writing in the classroom.

My students are so excited to have laptops that work. But one aspect that they are impressed with is that the Chrome books have amazing battery life. Students can work on an essay or multiple projects that require technology for long periods of time without worrying about the battery life of the laptops. My students are able to learn about more technology features on a Chrome book that they can utilize as they continue their education onto high school.

All of my students have been able to benefit from having working technology. I work with students who are ESL or have an IEP, so the Chrome books helped all of my students in different ways. All of my students are able to use the technology to help with assignments to help them be successful in the classroom.”
