Funded Jan 23, 2017Thank you so much for this wonderful opportunity you have given my students. We use our chrome books every day. We start our day with a brief warm up on a program called Moby Max. During this time, they are practicing their math fact fluency. We also use our chrome books during reading and math interventions. During reading, a group of students will record themselves reading a text and then share it with other members in their group. They are able to practice reading/following along with the story multiple times throughout the week, working on fluency, vocabulary and comprehension. Later in the afternoon we use our chrome books to create Google docs and slides. I have reduced the amount of paper I use by having students complete their work in Google docs and sharing their assignment with me. Students that are absent may use this at home as well.
Overall, having a classroom set of chrome books has given my students the opportunity to stay in competition with the other, more larger schools in our state. Living in a small community of less than 2,000 people has its disadvantages when it comes to opportunities for learning, but with the use of technology we can help reach many more students and give them chances to explore the world without leaving our school.”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Pollard
