In third grade, a large part of student learning is through technology. We investigate, explore, research, and practice skills daily. For both students and teachers, times are changing and the way kids learn is also changing.
"If we teach today as we taught yesterday, then we rob our children of tomorrow." John Dewey.
Our school serves approximately 700 students, grades 2-5, with 69% identified as low income. The aim of this project is to get technology into the hands of every student in my classroom. Students will be able to utilize the devices numerous times throughout every school day to apply, transfer, and reinforce educational practice for the skills and standards in which they receive direct instruction. They will be able to practice not only current skills being taught but will review previously taught skills so that they have an opportunity to perform better in the classroom and on standardized tests, such as the Illinois Assessment of Readiness. Students will be allowed to work at their independent learning levels as well as review lower standards to fill gaps or challenge themselves to advance to higher levels of learning.
