Our classroom is currently 2:1 with Dell Laptops. We use a wide variety of applications and websites, including FlipGrid, Prodigy, MyOn, and Wixie, to accent teaching and aid in our learning. With a high ESOL population, having quality technology is key. Currently, my students have virtual partners on FlipGrid with a 5th grade class from another school. My students love creating and watching videos about their learning in the classroom. However, the headsets we have now do not cancel out background noise and are constantly breaking.
By allowing my ESOL students access to quality technology, you will also be giving them access to a low-risk, high reward educational experience that will give them the confidence to grow as a learner. My students love using FlipGrid, but with only 2 low-quality headsets, it makes it difficult to use the technology to its full potential. With 10 high-quality headsets, my students will have more chances to interact with technology that can help further their learning.
