Connecting Students & Skills with Chromebooks & Technology

My students need access to technology in order to put 21st Century library skills to good use. A small set of Chromebooks will help supplement the minimal technology that we have in our temporary library.

My Students

The kids that come into my library are survivors. My students range from PreK to Grade 5 & come from high-poverty, low-income areas, but their hunger for knowledge is real.

The Louisiana Flood of 2016 may have washed away their belongings, but it has not diminished their spirits.

These kids are true learners, and they deserve every opportunity to achieve greatness.

Good hearts, capable minds, eyes open wide - my students have all of these. All they need is a chance to put them to use.

My Project

21st Century skills are beyond important in the development of students. Being able to access information is only half of the battle. Students need to be aware of how & where to look for pertinent & quality information. The library is a natural place for these skills to develop as it is essentially a house of knowledge.

A set of Chromebooks for student use in the library will provide pathways for learning through inquiry, research, & exploration.

Advances in technology have provided students with a wealth of information that is available to them at their fingertips, but guidance is still needed to help them know how to navigate the waters of the online world. With these Chromebooks, my students will be given multiple chances to develop & prepare their minds for a world full of opportunities.
