I do a lot of group work, stations and am trying to add in a technology piece to my curriculum. We had some damage to our school last year and many of my students were displaced. Unfortunately, replacing technology has been low on the priority list for my school and for the parents of some of my students. Although totally understandable, it's sad. I would like to have an in class set of Chromebooks with a charging cart that locks so that I may use technology daily with my students. Not only in a lesson, but for students who complete work first to use to extend their lessons and for students who are visual and auditory learners. The amount of educational sites available grows daily and help make learning more enjoyable and sometime provide that "aha" moment. I would also use these Chromebooks for after school tutorials for students need a little more guidance or for use by students who need computers to complete assignments from any class that cannot be completed at home.
