Help me bring my students into the 21st Century!! We are still dependent on copies because we don't have technology available to us! I teach Earth Science to 10-12 graders in a high-poverty school. Most of my students have never left the city, and have no idea of what a mine is or caverns look like. I also like to have them research different topics, which helps prepare them for college. Without technology, Earth Science is more like "worksheet science", because I can't utilize PowerPoint presentations or virtual field trips. By allowing my students access to the computer and Internet, it makes them better students and learners, which will enable them to be a better asset to colleges.
