My Students

I'm a special education teacher. My students have enormous musical talent, but often struggle in the classroom. With busy performance lives, my students have many organizational challenges to juggle, and, in the first place, they tend to have a hard time keeping deadlines at the front of their minds.

This laptop set would be exclusively for my IEP students to manage their academic lives.

I'm hoping it will allow me to provide more intensive help to them.

My Project

Special populations sometimes fall short of demonstrating their full potential because organization or fluency escapes them. It can be so helpful for them to enter into routines, particularly routines of study. In the modern age, many routines they engage involve technology. Despite today's students having a natural ease with technology, they often stumble when using technology to complete high-quality academic work. This could be because of unfamiliarity with the programs involved, lack of awareness of their teachers' expectations, or both.

With a dedicated mobile cart of Acer Chromebooks that lives between the SMS learning specialists' classrooms (which are adjacent to each other), there will always be ten computers exclusively for students with disabilities to use.

These computers will help y students practice: practice sending professional-sounding emails, practice using the google suite, practice organizing their calendar, practice annotating a document, practice implementing feedback, and much more.

The important aspect of having this cart in my classroom is that I can guide my students through the learning process. They will get instant feedback on their writing or organization. And, they'll enter into a routine that they practice by my side every day after school. As they conclude high school and attend college in the 21st-century, they will reap the enormous benefits of a routinized academic life in their new, independent settings.
