My Students

We live in a rural Idaho community that still values "vocational" education.

My students are interested in learning skills they can use in their daily lives - possibly even for making a living.

We have about 600 students in a 7th and 8th grade only building. I get to see on average 100 of them each trimester.

Studying technology can be a wonderful experience. I'm hoping to increase my knowledge base and skills in order to better relate real world examples of life skills to them.

My Project

I am requesting a new computer to use as I take re certification classes online and prepare to work on my masters degree. Living in a rural Idaho town doesn't give me any option other than online classes, and I'm finding my current laptop is just not up to the task.

I am hoping to use this opportunity to broaden my knowledge base and increase my skill as a teacher.

This will help my students in many ways. I am currently taking an intro to psychology class and have already used information from it in several ways relating to robotics. The class is also helping me understand thought processes which is helping me to connect with my students better.

As I further my studies, I will be better able to follow the STEAM model in my classroom. I teach technology already, and do a fair job of incorporating science and mathematics. This computer will be the gateway to me being able to include more science, technology, engineering, art, and math into my classes.
