My Students

I teach in a very diverse area at a Title I school. In my school district, students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the many challenges they face, I try to provide creative and meaningful learning experiences and opportunities for my students. I try to plan engaging lessons that will help them succeed and decrease the academic gap. I believe my students should have the same opportunities available to them as those who live in more affluent areas of NY. My students need to have up-to-date and interesting resources available to them. Not all students are able to afford basic supplies and some are definitely not able to pay for extra resources to enhance learning. I would like to provide my students with multiple opportunities to succeed, including technology and magazines that enhance learning. By triggering a love for learning and a curiosity about the world around them and how they can improve it, I believe that together, we can help make a successful future generation.

My Project

In a year full of transitions and adjustments, it has been difficult to provide enhanced digital lessons with the limited technology resources available to teachers at my school. My current laptop is outdated and has issues connecting to the smart board in school. It takes forever to load any interactive sites needed for teaching, both at home and at work. Our lessons would be more engaging and run more smoothly if we didn't have to wait for presentations to load. In addition, it is very heavy to take computers back and forth, as our school is constantly transitioning to remote learning when we need to quarantine.

A portable and technologically advanced computer, like the SurfacePro, would make the transition between in-person and remote classes much smoother, so our lessons can run smoothly.

Having the advanced technology and flexibility of a device like this would be one less challenge to deal with during such a challenging school year. My students will benefit from having uninterrupted lessons presented on Google Meets and be able to see the videos and participate in interactive activities when I present lessons.
