The students I teach attend high school in Southern California. The class I teach is 9th-12th grade math. My students come from very diverse backgrounds and socioeconomic status'. Approximately 60% are English language learners and socioeconomically disadvantaged. Cultural and language barriers make it very difficult for many of my students to grasp the difficult mathematical concepts I am required to teach them. In addition, many of my students do not have access to technology in their homes and the only time they use technology is at school. By having Chromebooks for them to utilize in class, my students will be more motivated to learn and they will be learning valuable technological skills that will prepare them for a 21st center marketplace, skills they might not otherwise receive. Their knowledge of mathematics will greatly increase because they will be more engaged in the learning process, and as a result, their self-confidence will soar!
