Most of my students are not fortunate enough to own a computer. Thus, they are confined to having to miss the only form of transportation to get home, the school bus, to stay after school and complete homework that requires technology. Since there is only one computer lab for the entire school, a computer session is not always guaranteed. To ensure that they are keeping abreast of technology, it is extremely important that they are given opportunities to familiarize and gain proficiency with programs such as wikispaces, Prezi, Edmodo, and like online learning in school. More importantly, by having technology to record and publish their talents, I think it would go a long way in motivating them to continue to reach for the stars.
