My Students

My class is full of eager third graders who are curious, outgoing, and ready take their education to the next level. Despite economic inequalities, our diverse class with a wide range of special needs continues to work so hard! They have inquisitive minds that never stop--especially when it comes to science and solving problems. They are making strides in their multiplication fluency and problem solving, and are growing in their love of reading.

"If we teach today as we taught yesterday, we rob our children of tomorrow."-John Dewey.

Despite their hard work, my students are at a serious disadvantage compared to other schools when it comes to technology. Our classroom has one ancient desktop computer and we have tech class just once a week. In order for students to be prepared for life, it is VITAL that they are proficient with the use of technology. It is truly the missing piece in our learning. As teachers, we are tasked with teaching our children how to be thinkers and contributing members of society. I take that very seriously! We are all up for the challenge, but the lack of technology resources prevents us from reaching our full potential!

My Project

I want to be a teacher who fosters my students' curiosity and pushes them to learn content in a variety of ways. My students have minimal technology access weekly, but they soak it up like sponges! They are learning to type, make Google docs, and use Google drive. Only having computers once a week puts them at such a huge disadvantage to students who are privileged to have daily access.

Chromebooks would have a profound impact by giving students access to the most up-to-date information, increasing their time on interactive learning websites, and encouraging project-based learning where they can easily collaborate with each other.

Rather than look up information in outdated encyclopedias, they could use online sources for reports and answers to their never-ending questions. We would regularly be able to utilize our accounts for IXL Math and Kahn Academy, individualized and interactive programs. Websites like Storybird would be used to create fables and tall tales, as we learn about those genres. There is a whole world out there of learning that these Chromebooks would allow us to step into daily! With technology I know I can fuel their drive to learn, create, and collaborate.
