The use of Chromebooks would be a daily occurrence in my classroom. Our school has adopted a math curriculum that has a computer component that goes right along with it. The computer program has students work at their own pace and reinforces topics that have been taught during class. However, we do not have any computers in our classroom. If we had a classroom set of Chromebooks, my students would be able to have an engaging center activity that perfectly complements our math lessons. In addition, our mandated, end-of-year, state testing has essay portions on it that requires my students to type multiple paragraph answers. This is so stressful for them as they do not have strong keyboarding skills. With Chromebooks my students would be able to have daily typing practice which in turn would result in higher test scores. In addition to the above, a classroom set of Chromebooks would open so many other wonderful opportunities to my students! They would be able to learn to code, do research, work on projects,and be introduced to navigating this world with current technology. In this technology literate world, any interaction with updated technology will increase students' academic achievement as well as their desire to learn and use the new technology. By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve engagement and skills, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement.
