My Students

The school I teach in is an urban, low-income/high-poverty public K-8 school. Most of my students have experienced trauma in various ways, which makes coming to school that much harder for them. Giving them resources at school that they do not have access to at home is a huge positive and many of them look forward to computer/research time.

My students range in abilities, while most read, write, and do math well below grade level.

Many computer programs I use meet students at their independent learning levels which can move them closer to or beyond their grade level learning. For them to learn to the best of their abilities, they need the resources which our school does not have.

Living in this millennial age, technology plays a huge role in the classroom. Technology helps my students see the positives in education and gives them another way to learn, research, and discover on their own. My students are very interested in the world around them and a far.

My Project

For my classroom project, I am requesting laptops and headphones to go with the laptops. I want my students to be able to use the laptops when I am meeting with small groups. When they are using the laptops, they will be on reading programs used to help them learn areas that they struggle in. They will also be able to read/listen to books to help them up their reading levels.

Additionally, students will use the laptops in math to help them learn current content that we are practicing in class.

This gives me another way to work with individual or groups of students that need extra learning/practice on the topic. I can track students trends on how they are solving problems online and always have the data ready and available to use and direct my teaching.

Furthermore, we are going to use the laptops for research in writing. Learning how to research is a skill that my students constantly need to work on. Sometimes it will be inquiry-based learning and sometimes it will be research with specific guidelines.

By implementing technology into my classroom, my students will begin to see their hard work rewarded by going up in their reading levels or earning rewards on the many different programs I use. As students gain their rewards and higher levels, their confidence grows and then their learning and knowledge will expand.
