My Students

I teach 6th and 7th grade Science in Park Slope, Brooklyn. I teach 6th and 7th grade. The students I teach are very diverse in learning and background. Many of my students have special needs and some are ENL learners. More than half of my students come from low‑income households.

It is my goal to offer resources in my class that students can have easy access to as I work with them during class, and even lunch time, connecting to our Year-Long Essential Question: To what extent can understanding science and scientific principles help us solve problems and make decisions?

My Project

Research shows that technology in the classroom raises achievement. With laptops in the classroom, my students will be better able to meet the needs of increasingly rigorous academic standards and global demands by: Accessing educational sites for cross-curricular research; Having individualized, self-directed learning experiences using academic programs. Reviewing or extending skill practice using academic programs; Studying topics of personal interest (and finding new interests); Watching educational clips and practicing computer and word processing skills. I believe strongly in using technology in the classroom for educational purposes only!

Technology opens up a whole new world of learning possibilities for students.

Though one of the best ways to learn scientific concepts is through direct and raw experiences in nature through which students are exposed to natural processes and cycles in their natural, messy, unpolished state. Sadly, some schools do have natural grounds or surroundings, the majority of schools are located in concrete jungles or urban settings where the only alternative for meaningful science experiences is a prohibitively expensive field trip. This is where technology comes in and where virtual field trips, video resources, digital images, and visual literacy are helpful. Through such technology, students can learn about or visit unique places from their own laptops.
