Funded Feb 11, 2017The use of technology is growing in education and in the classroom. My students are required to access technology several times each day, from inputting his or her student identification number in order to receive free breakfast and lunch to online testing in order to track their educational development. Technology is everywhere. In my classroom, the Chromebooks are being used to access learning; therefore, incorporating technology with instruction will strengthen their ability to compete academically in the real world.
My students' eyes lit up when I unboxed the Chromebook. They were so excited to receive the new technology, that will be used in class. My students have been able to access education websites to complete standard based assignments. The newly added math station is a new component to my class. I have used is an incentive for my students to work hard.
There are a couple of students that absolutely love the Chromebooks. Other than their parents' cell phone, the students do not have very many opportunities to use electronics at home. When it is their time for the technology station, they quickly go to my large table to be the first to work on their projects with a Chromebook. I'm so proud of them.
Once again, thank you for your support with this project. It has been an asset to my classroom instruction.”
With gratitude,
