My students have the alacrity and creativity to extend their learning but lack the resources to do so. Having more technology in our classroom will allow my students to grow academically. These chromebooks will give my students the opportunity to do online research, access first hand research, utilize math and science teaching tutorials and programs, give students the opportunity to extend lab research, and create presentations to exhibit their work. With these Chromebooks, I will also be able to train them in being literate in basic computer skills. With the growth of technology in general, students need to be literate in basic computer functions such as creating documents in various programs such as Microsoft and google, saving documents, using email, etc.
My project will help to close gaps not only in the general education classroom but also help to provide students with disability access to an equal education. These chromebooks will improve the way students with disabilities learn in class. With these chromebooks, my students with physical disabilities will be able to better take notes by typing and dictation technology. Additionally, my other students with various other disabilities (i.e. dyslexia, dysgraphia, ADHD, etc.), will be able to benefit from computer programs designed to help them be more successful (i.e. make reading more manageable through reading programs, annotating software, dictation software, etc.).
