My Project

Technology can help all students, especially English Language Learners (ELLs) and students with disabilities. It can help them by expanding their knowledge, learning about different cultures, as well as everyday experiences. Using technology in the classroom has become increasingly popular. It can enhance a student's learning experience by making lessons more interactive, engaging, and personalized.

Having a laptop can give my students tools such as text-to-speech, screen readers, or apps that assist with organization and differentiated learning.

My students learn through a multi-sensory approach; visually, auditory, and kinesthetic. There are many ways to integrate technology into education. Through the use of digital tools, online resources, and/or collaborative platforms. Having a laptop can help my students access a wealth of knowledge and explore multiple subjects. These tools can provide vital support for their academic growth and needs. The students can use different digital programs that will help support and enrich their overall learning.

Having a laptop will be a great tool that will further student achievement and success. A laptop will be beneficial to my students by making learning more accessible for everyone, no matter their learning style.
