I am privileged to be teaching twenty-nine tenacious and eager fifth grade gifted students, but lack the resources to help them research topics that they want to learn about in greater depth. Our school is a Title I school which means it has a sufficiently high percentage of economically disadvantaged students. Most students do not have access to computers and Internet at home. With budget cuts, our school's ability to update and stay current with technology has become limited. The few computers the students can use are older than they themselves with no capabilities to receive software updates. Because we have over 800 students, each class can only visit the computer lab once a week for one hour.
