My Students

Our school, Ramsey Street High School, is an alternative high school. Students come here from all over Cumberland County for various forms of discipline infractions. Although the students have had some problems our goal is to rehabilitate them in order that they may return to their home schools. I want to help my students realize how much they really do matter and that their education is important to us here at RSHS.

Technology is very big in Cumberland County and our school is basically the last one to receive any laptops or computers for our students.

They are not allowed to use or bring cell phones here so we are very limited technology wise. It is very surprising how many of my students still do not know how to properly log into the Cumberland County Schools website to check their school mail or to check their grades.

My goal is to use this project to help my students. They should not be limited because of the mistakes they have made. They deserve the same opportunities afforded to all students in our school system. Hopefully, Donors Choose can help me as I try to help our students.

My Project

The 10-inch android tablets will greatly enhance the opportunity for my classes to become more technology literate. Currently, we share approximately 100 laptops with the entire school and there are not always enough to go around. Because we are an alternative school, we are generally the last school to get any new technology. We usually receive refurbished laptops or older laptops once the other schools receive new ones.

The number of students during this 21st Century who do not know how to operate or navigate a computer/laptop is very high in our school.

Most students come in not even knowing how to login to the school website which allows them access to their grades and their school email. I have noticed that when students receive the knowledge on how to find out what their grades are, they take more interest in the grades they make and try to keep up with their work.

These tablets will allow more access for the students to complete Google classroom assignments or to use websites such as Kahoot, Flipgrid, Vocabulary.com or Flipquiz to help them prepare for quizzes or test. These tablets will be just the beginning of their journey towards being Technology Literate!
