I teach my whole elementary school - kindergarten through fifth graders - Technology in my once per week 50-minute class located in a computer lab. My school is a small public elementary located on Marco Island, a small island off the coast of southwest Florida, of recent fame because Hurricane Irma made landfall here. I have approximately 570 students. My students come from a wide variety of backgrounds and sociology-economic status, including 43% designated as economically needy. Almost 5% of our population are listed as Gifted, while 12% of my kids are in an ESE (Exceptional Student Education) classification. English is the home-language for 65% of my students, while 25% of my students' home-language is Spanish, with the remaining 5% other languages, such as Russian, Czech, and Egyptian.
