As an elementary school teacher in a low income area, our 800+ students in grades K-5 are different in many ways. However, one characteristic they share is an interest in using technology to understand new concepts and explore their world. Our school provides access to resources many of our students and families would not otherwise have an opportunity to use, such as access to books, computers, and the Internet. Our students are learners, explorers, writers, artists, creative thinkers, and active participants in the learning process. They not only ask lots of questions, but they also value the process of locating answers. Our students come from a wide variety of backgrounds and each brings his or her own unique ideas and understandings to the classroom when it comes to exploring new things.
