My Students

The classroom is awash with color, wall space is in short supply, art supplies and games fill the bookshelves, and the record player sings out the album of the day. I welcome my students into this full room all day long to learn, read, create, cook, and talk. I teach at rural school surrounded by woods, hence our mascot is a logger.

My students are curious, creative, fun, and witty individuals; a surprisingly eclectic group considering our town has a population just over 400 people.

These students want to know more about the world outside of their small town. They love music, movies, and being involved in the community. Our school is the center of the town and students receive a lot of support from members within it. My students enjoy creating whether it is through painting, drawing, or writing short stories. These outlets give them an opportunity to express themselves, while also demonstrating mastery of Social Studies content.

My Project

Many of my students do not have access to the Internet or a computer outside of school. As a result our school has begun purchasing Chromebooks and iPads which can be used in school for different learning activities. Last year I was able to receive 25 Chromebooks, which I quickly put to use in all of my classes with great success.

Students use Chromebooks for researching National History Day Projects, creating resumes, digital portfolios, reading articles online, email, playing games, and so much more.

Our school is growing and we have over 30 new students this year! A challenge that this has posed for me is that I am short Chromebooks for my students.

When we are learning through online research, exploring through Google Earth, playing SimCity (whoever said there were no great video games for Government class?), discussing through chat boards, or writing my students and I need technology that works for all of us. I anticipate needing five more Chromebooks before the end of the school year so that every student in my classroom is able to use one for their school projects.
