Every year, my 5th grade students are enthusiastic about the multitude of ways we use technology in the classroom. Having access to technology makes a world of difference in the lives of students. Being able to utilize programs (Pearson Realize, Go Math!, Studies Weekly, Reading.Org, and Newsela) offered in the district would benefit the students tremendously. For example, I've noticed that my students are more focused on understanding the skill and willing to show work when completing math assignments on the computer verses a math book.
In Social Studies, they are eager to travel to other countries, learn about various cultures/historical figures, and visit world renown museums and attractions from the comforts of their own classroom.
In ELA, students are engrossed in improving their typing skills and mechanics when completing essays, reading assigned books, having access to a plethora of literacy resources, and creating projects collaboratively and individually. Every year, students are becoming more self motivated to complete homework assignments in school, think outside the box, and take responsibility for their own learning.
