Classes at our school are very large; 30 to 34 students packed into classrooms built in the early 1960s. My students come from a variety of backgrounds and socioeconomic regions. Each day, I am unsure if ALL students will have access to the internet via a mobile device or if they will need money for lunch. Some classes are filled with students who have every technological device available while others do not have access to the internet outside of school.
Our school, the largest in our district, does well to provide technological devices with the very small budget allotted by our state. However, often there is very little left for each classroom teacher to have his/her own, resulting in the sharing of technology. The end result is overused devices that need repairs that are not part of the budget. Many of my colleagues and I purchase as much as we can for our own classrooms, but these funds are often not enough.
