My Students

Our kinder class is looking to boost it technology acquisitions. We have old equipment and looking for a large scale computer monitor where two kids can share the screen in search for the alphabet and play literacy and math games. Do you remember what it was like to have old or even no computers in the classroom? I need to help create new gurus for the next computer age. Please help me do that. I promise I will recycle the old technology.

My students are five and six year olds with inquisitive minds.

23% of the school is economically disadvantaged, and 6% are English learners. In my class I have one child with specific educational needs, and five students below grade level. Despite the odds, they are the new generation of kids who were born in the age of the iPhone. They really not know what desktops and laptops are, and with the advent of tablets, classrooms around the U.S. will see a depletion of desktops and laptops. However even with my low socio-economic students, technology seems secondary. I feel that technology is the future and if I deliver it with an edge, I can present it as a helpful advantage to an already broad education.

My Project

My class utilizes the computers at least twice a day for over an hour. These technokinders know how to operate sophisticated computer equipment and the updated technology will inspire them to want to share. In this fast paced world of iPhones and iPads, the path to literacy is sometimes paved by access to knowledge through sophisticated sources such as the Internet and gaming. With a new computer monitor, I feel I can inspire these kids to latch on to educational games and activities on the internet and games the school purchases. I believe the more technology, the better equipped these kids will be in the world.

I really believe whole heatedly as a computer tech head myself, that these children will have better accessibility to knowledge they may or may not get at home.

I am a firm believer in technology and even inspired by gurus like Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, knowing that they impacted several generations to come. I hope I can help inspire these children to use their ideas and out them to good use. This is my first attempt at trying to obtain a total of four new monitors for my class. Thank you so much for your donation. My class will be so grateful.
