My Students

I teach high school English for college-prep 12th graders and some English Second Language (ESL) students. Many of the students in my classes have not developed sufficient academic skills to be successful in school. In addition, many of my students believe they are not meant to go to college.

In order to convince them that they belong in college and for them to truly be ready to go, my students must have access to technology, which will increase their academic skills.

Although it is required that I teach academic essays and speeches to my students, my school is financially unable to provide sufficient access to technology, especially when writing research papers and other academic assignments, for all my students. The technology that my students are lacking because their families do not have the resources to contribute to their children's education too often prevents them meeting the standards required to pass my courses. When students do not have access to the appropriate technology, it is difficult to effectively teach writing and speech standards at a college-prep level, which will lead to a college-prep diploma and transitioning to college. However, I am a teacher focused on reaching students where they are, which right now is in need of a Chromebook.

My Project

If an ASUS Chromebook C200MA EDU2 and Google Chrome OS Management Console license are purchased, I will be able to successfully guide my students across the technological divide within the English classroom. When this is accomplished, my students can improve their academic writing and speech skills and successfully complete the English Language Arts standards for 12th grade. After they do this, I am certain that my students will more likely be interested in attending and be prepared for college because they experienced legitimate academic success via quality instruction and tech support. When they get to college, they are more likely to experience continued success because they were supported with access to Chromebook technology that was part of improving their academic performance.

I know times are tough for everyone right now, but this Chromebook technology can make a huge difference in students' lives as they direct their future aspirations toward college.

You can make it possible for students to more powerfully interact with the world we live in, thus making it a better place.
