I am a fourth grade teacher in the state of Florida. I teach reading, language arts, and social studies. That means that I am in charge of the reading and writing portion of our state mandated test. I service forty-two children who are culturally, economically, and academically diverse. Very often, using pencil and paper gets very boring and challenging for certain children, especially for those who are below grade level in reading and writing. These students often have a difficult time staying on task and grasping skills and concepts being taught. I would like to incorporate technology into my class in order to better help those who are struggling. Additionally, some of my students have limited, to no, access to technology at home. These laptops will give them an opportunity they normally would not have. It will facilitate learning by rendering instructional material in a fun, creative, and interactive way.
