Technology is a huge push in education and unfortunately my district nor my parents have the resources to provide it for my students. In a district where my students are already at a disadvantage this is just another way they are lagging behind. Due to the low socioeconomic status of my students they lack background knowledge and experiences. All of our state testing is on the computer. Some of my students are amazing writers, but because they don't have the appropriate amount of exposure to computers, their typing skills and technology navigation skills are severely lacking. The state cannot see how intelligent and driven my students are because they have 90 minutes to compose a multi-paragraph essay but it is done entirely on the computer.
By putting the internet at their fingertips you open a new world to them that is beyond their imagination. This will help prepare them for future state testing, classes, and even their careers. In this technology driven world they are falling even further behind without having Chromebooks as a resource. Thank you for considering my students and their futures when making your decision to donate!
