My 3rd grade students are digital learners and are easily engaged when the technology abounds. When students are engaged, discourse becomes richer, students ask more questions, inquiry-based learning takes place. To help support current engagement, I use Chromebooks (successfully acquired through grant money), Google for Education, plickers.com, and quizlet.com, as well as other websites to support student learning. To keep my Title 1 students competitive with their affluent peers, I want to add tablets to our arsenal of digital devices. To improve my students' digital diversity with technology, tablets are a necessity. Interviews, story telling, movies, and portability are some of the benefits of tablets. At the end of the second week of school, students successfully completed their first digital story telling project using Chromebooks. My students and I created QR Codes of their audio recording to display with their written project on our classroom bulletin board. This allowed the school community and visitors to scan the QR Code and listen to their personal stories, which met the speaking/listening standard. The portability of tablets will allow students the flexibility to create many different projects that support academic standards and share them on our school website.
