My Students

The students I work with at our school can be described as eager to learn through active experience. Some students come to me with little background knowledge or experiences with technology and experiences outside of our community. They are best motivated to become active in class activities when they are given opportunities to work with concrete examples versus abstract materials. This is why having materials for them to manipulate is so important!

The area my students come from is a rural, close-knit​ community.

Many of them live within walking distance of the school. Many of their parents may have even attended the very same school when they were children.

This demonstrates that the heritage in this community is strong, and loyal. It also demonstrates that many of my students do not travel far from home. I want to give them the world to explore, right from my classroom! Thanks for partnering with me in this endeavor.

My Project

I would love to have technology tools in the hands of every child in my classroom. This laptop is going to be a much needed addition to our science classroom. We will be able to conduct research, take online assessments, and create our own technology based products with this powerful tool.

Computers are a big part of the classroom for this generation.

Many of our lessons have at least one technology component. Having a laptop allows students to take leadership in their learning. They can go places outside of the walls of a classroom with the right tools. Let's take my students as far as they can go!
