My school is 1:1 with iPads on our campus, but some students' families have opted out of the technology program. This means that some of my students will not have access to digital activities and resources needed for them to be successful in 8th-grade math. The Chromebooks on my project will bridge the gap for students who have no iPad for school use and will help them prepare for the upcoming STAAR test in April. I will be training my students on the program, Desmos, that my students will be able to use to assist them on the STAAR Math Test. By having a Chromebook available to my few students in each class without an iPad, I will be able to teach them how to utilize Desmos and complete any digital activity that we have in class. My students will feel like they are not at a disadvantage due to not having the technology that other students in my class have readily available to them.
