Being a reading teacher, I incorporate technology in my classroom on a daily basis. The core reading program that we use in the classroom has a technology piece where students access that program online. In addition, I provide my students with other online reading programs that target specifically their reading deficiencies to help build those skills that they need to become more effective readers. Also, technology is fun, engaging, and motivates the students to learn. Right now, my school's technology has suffered from Hurricane Irma and we are in the need of more computers and laptops.
Being in Miami, I have many students that come from other countries and are learning English as a second language and recently, we have received many students from Puerto Rico that needed to leave their homes because of Hurricane Maria. I realize that I really need to help them become acclimated to a new place while learning to speak, read, and write English. My students learning English are able to access programs where they can translate words from their native language to English, use online programs to learn English, build their English vocabulary, and learn how to read and pronounce English words. Technology will make this possible. Please help fund my project so I can help my students become better readers and really learn English well.
