Many of our students are behind academically by two or three years, which means some of my eight graders are reading on a 5 or 6th grade level. In my content area of Science, reading is essential. Our school along with community partners try to close the gap and provide our students with essential needs (school supplies, clean uniforms, food during the holidays etc.). However, there are still unmet needs. With many challenges stacked against them, my students come to school everyday with a desire to learn.
They actively participate in class, they ask a lot of questions and some even send me messages as late as 9 PM through remind.com asking about class. I would like to increase the use of technology in my classroom. I use websites or apps such as: remind.com, kahoots, edgenuity, khan academy and explore learning. Having computers or netbooks in my classroom would allow more students to utilize these web/computer programs. This would increase student engagement, allow for remediation if students don’t understand the content, and allow absent students to catch up with classwork. Having laptops in class would make a world of a difference in closing the achievement gap of my students.
