My Students

I teach at a large Illinois inner city elementary school. I teach 7th and 8th grades science. My students are from low-income families and are all eligible for free lunch. As a teacher and lover of science, I want to instill my love for healthy living, discovery, and inquiry in my students.

Because of drastic budget cuts, I am unable to have a technology center in my classroom.

I would like for my students to have access to the latest technology in order to develop their research skills. I generally use the overhead projector (a dinosaur in the technology industry) and a LCD projector. While I am able to reach all of my students at once with these two resources, my students are not able to explore, research, and develop their own technology skills.

My Project

My students will be able to conduct research on such topics as global warming and current events. My students will also be able to prepare research papers. While these Chromebooks do have limited storage space, they offer access to the Google Cloud, which has unlimited storage capacity. My students will be able to work in teams using these Chromebooks and complete assignments such as ecological succession and teenage obesity. They will be able to watch videos on Mitosis and Meiosis to assist in writing their reports. My students will be able to print their research assignments with the requested printer ink.

There is still a “digital-divide” in America.

With your help, I will be able to reduce that divide in my classroom. Using these Chromebook computers, my students will build life skills that will take them through college.
