My Students

My students are readers! They've become experts at choosing books that are just right for them based on interest and readability! They love to pull apart the details of their reading and, through discussion, and cobble those details back together in meaningful ways. They're a pleasure to work with.

They're seventh graders, which means they're full of urgent questions about the world that need answers.

Part of my job is to help them learn to manage how they acquire those answers through text. We discuss ways to read so that we're truly interacting with text instead of merely receiving it. Another part of my job is to provide students with easy-to-manage tools that facilitate thinking.

My Project

What a difference a set of Chromebooks can make! My students, who are used to using mostly traditional text in our class, have a narrow scope of non-fiction text choice. A lack of choice means also that readability isn't always well individualized.

Having access to Chromebooks means that students can make decisions about their own research topics, the readability they need, and the types of media they require to build understanding.

Using Google products also means we can share information and text easily, and gives students new ways to respond to their reading.

Chromebook access will create ownership and agency in among my students, many of whom have IEPs and struggle to find a purpose for reading. We read best when we have choice, not just in topic and type of text but in how we can think about what we've read. I want my students to experience the pleasure that comes with learning something new on their own and the power that comes from being able to teach others what they know.

My seventh graders have big and small questions that they want answered. The internet has so much to offer them, but their current access is only occasional.I want to make sure that they always have the right tools for the job.
