My Students

I am so fortunate to have a fantastic group of students. They are bubbly, eager to learn, and love being informed. I teach fourth grade students in New York City. It is not uncommon for teachers in my school to see students engaged in classroom discussions about happenings around the world and how our lessons relate to the world around them. My classroom is a space that is welcoming, challenging, and a place where ideas are analyzed on a daily basis.

I strive to make learning engaging, fun, and relevant for my students, who in turn, have pushed me to be a better teacher, a better citizen, and a better person.

This project will allow my students to have plenty of resources to develop their literacy skills, learn about their world, and encourage them to take learning and inquiry into their own hands by researching further topics that are taught throughout the school year.

My Project

When students are interested and engaged in their learning, they soar academically. My students will directly benefit from these chromebooks through the images, maps, videos, and up-to-the-minute information that having access to technology and Internet in the classroom provides. Being able to go to a chromebook and research a topic, or look up a fact, will help my students learn in an self-motivating way. These requested Chromebooks will also be used to introduce my 4th graders to computer programming. Students will use free programs to work in small groups, with help from me, to program on their own. My students will also be challenged to create a video game online to relate to our social studies lessons. They can access reading comprehension websites online that are interactive and engaging. How cool is that?

After years of teaching, the digital divide I see in education is striking.

My students simply do not have access to the technology they should. These Chromebooks will not only prove to be fun and engaging to students but will set up a strong computer based foundation for future learning. Students need to explore computer programming because of the growing numbers of jobs in the computing fields. Students that explore, use, and understand computer programming will have a more successful future.
