My Students

The classroom laptops have arrived! Now what? As I plan engaging and relevant mathematical experiences for my students, we need some necessary tools to bring those ideas to fruition.

Students are eager learners when they are given the freedom to explore and create.

My students are no exception! Students will be using classroom laptops to engage with a global learning network, beginning to prepare them for their futures in a globally connected world.

My Project

Designing, executing, and presenting relevant ideas will be the norm in our classroom. I am so excited! Are you getting excited for the opportunities before my students? In order to achieve impressive results and press forward as digital citizens, my students need these materials. They will work collaboratively and creatively, saving and sharing their progress using usb flash drives. I will be able to easily gather and disperse material using the external hard drive and usb cables. The styluses will allow my students to write mathematics right on their screens! Digital learning will be seamlessly transferred. The ear buds will allow my students to communicate with outside experts, without disturbing others in the classroom. They will also give my students the freedom to create and edit digital works without disruption.

The possibilities are almost limitless!

I want the learning that my students achieve to be constrained only by their abilities and imaginations, not by the restriction of tools available. Will you help make this dream a reality for my students?
