My Students

My students are craving to use more technology in the classroom from reading to creating math games, and we need technology to do this. Technology will help our students to become more prepared for these changes in an educational format and become better equipped with their technology skills.

Classroom dynamics are changing, and technology is a moving the way we teach our students drastically.

We need this technology, so that at-risk, low income students ages 8-10 can have the opportunity to begin using technology at a younger age, and have a larger understanding of as it grows more and more in our school systems and career worlds. Our students attend a Title 1 charter schools, where we follow the creed "€œWe will go to college, we will succeed!"€ These lines are embedded in our school culture and our classroom communities. Our students believe they can achieve anything if they do their best at all times. We create vigorous classroom atmospheres not only in academics, but in the arts as well. Yet, something is lacking, technology. Our students are thirsting to learn more about technology and how it can be used in their academics and art classes as well.

My Project

"€œLook Ms. Robinson, I created a comic strip based off the book I read."€ Just imagine walking through a classroom, with excited third grades expressing books and articles they have read, creatively through tablets that challenge them and allow them to express what they have learned in their own unique way. Perhaps, it's a student who is gaining an understanding of gender roles through their picture book and wants to express these ideas through an iMovie. Through these tablets my students will have the opportunity to create, research, present, and explore topics they typically would not have an opportunity to read through all subjects of the classroom from reading to math, social studies, and science.

These tablets will strengthen the skills that students have already acquired and open a new avenue for students to explore and express what their learning.

It will also open different venues where students who typically struggle with the normal daily academic expectations in reading and writing and classroom work, can truly show what they know and understand in a way they can take control of.
