Having the set of Chromebooks in the classroom will allow for different structures of learning in my classroom. One way they will be used is as a STEM center. Students can look up pictures of various projects and then design their own using nothing more than common, everyday items.
Another way they will be used is by recording the results of an experiment. Recently, we investigated how to design a garden for the city. Students could look at different pictures of various parks and get ideas for themselves. They could collaborate on group findings by sharing through the cloud. I could download apps for various math practice skills for a math center, which would allow me to have activities for both my highest performing and most struggling students.
My project will make a difference because these students are the digital natives of our future. Our classrooms are not yet at the level technologically to meet their needs as learners. This grant will help to close that gap just a little bit more.
