My Students

Students don't just learn with their ears; they also learn with their eyes! Have you ever been in sitting in a classroom at a desk and feel like your teacher was speaking in a foreign language? This is what it's like for my students when they don't have visuals to assist with their learning.

My students are high school students in grades 9-12 that have various disabilities.

Many of the students in my class have learning disabilities with either reading or math. They come from families where their parent or parents probably didn't attend college and have to work more than one job to provide for their family. My students work hard to overcome their disabilities and family situation to learn. My students are dedicated to figuring out how they learn best so that they can attend college and be successful.

My Project

By having a laptop computer in the classroom, students will be able to access current information to increase their understanding. A laptop will allow me to access more information that can build background knowledge and connect my students to the world around them. I will also be able to reach more students by increasing the ways I present information to them. Using a laptop and projector will make the learning in high school more similar to what it will be like in college. This will allow my students to be more adequately prepared to attend college and increase their chances for success.

Currently, students learn with textbooks and by listening.

Having a computer in the classroom will allow students to access their accommodations and help develop the students ability to figure out how they learn best while also preparing them for their future.
