My Students

I work with some innovative, energetic, and dedicated 9th graders at my school. Like many teenagers in their age group, my students are curious and have a passion for learning. I am always taken back by the level of enthusiasm they bring to my class every day, even though for many of them, Math is not one of their favorite subjects.

Life is about making mistakes and learning from them.

I emphasize this statement because Math is all about making mistakes and how you can learn from them to do better next time. When I hear many of the stories my students tell about the mistakes they have made in their lives and how these mistakes made them want to give up and not come back, it makes me realize more and more how different their lives are from a normal teenager and the many obstacles they have to face before they even get to school. Still, they come to class ready to take on a new day, make mistakes, and learn from them.

My Project

I am a High School Math teacher who works with very eager, curious, and ever developing group of 9th graders. In my Algebra 1 class we are learning about how important Math is both inside and outside of school as well as the many connections it has to the outside world. The use of technology is not seen as important in a math class and thus tools such as laptops are prioritized for English or History classes instead of Math classes.

I want to show the impact technology can have in a Math class.

With the purchase of this laptop, I can encourage collaboration and allow more opportunities for students to engage in the lesson. I implement workstations in my classroom as a way for kids to move around and work with different groups and materials. I would like to have enough laptops to create a technology workstation where students can master 21st skills using the HP computer.

By creating a technology workstation, students can learn the concepts without constantly relying on paper and pencil. With programs such as google docs and smart amp, I can help students transform their learning and make it more hands on.

Many of the state tests my students must take to graduate High School are computer based. For example, their most recent Algebra 1 exam was computer based and I noticed how my students struggled with many of the technological components. Whether it was manipulating a graph or writing an equation using the equation editor. By having a technology station with this HP laptop I can practice these skills with my students that will help them be more prepared for not only state tests but also when they enter college.
