My Students

Being the Media Specialist, one of my main responsibilities is to address the needs of the "whole child" and treat every student holistically. My students come with varying needs, and over 90% live in impoverished homes. Their diverse cultures, needs, and experiences mean that one size does not fit all when it comes to guidance and counseling.

Due to their parents' economic status being impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and the fact that these children attend a Title I school where resources are limited, basic needs such as access to technology and school supplies are always ongoing issues.

At my school, I wear many hats, and I facilitate a vast diversity of students' and teachers' needs alike. As the media specialist, I take a very active role in my students' literacy needs, especially when it comes to ensuring that each child that comes to me has equal access to a mobile technology device.

My Project

The 2021-2022 school year had been one like no other! Our students struggled with the new way of learning and isolation, yet soared to new heights, despite and in spite of the pandemic!

Last year, my students learned how to become self-motivated and independent learners, especially my MSO/Virtual learners, and this made them better learners academically and holistically, but there are still technological hurdles to overcome.

The Chromebooks and tablets I received in the past have assisted the students but storage and memory are not sufficient for the tasks that need memory, storage, and speed. Also, Chromebooks are no longer supported by our network, so they are not functional in terms of connecting to the internet in our classroom.

I am requesting an affordable ASUS laptop that the students can utilize to save their assignments and use for other online activities.
