Since my school is new, we are slowly getting the resources we need for our classrooms. We do have two classroom computers and all of the teachers have one laptop. During centers, I try to have the class divided up into groups of four or five students and they love having computers as one of the centers. They can easily share the computers to play a game; however, if I want them to log in to their math curriculum to do an assignment or take a reading quiz during this time they have to have their own computer. This is why I figured a few extra Chromebooks would be very beneficial and a great idea for a grant! If this project is funded, they can use the two desktops and the four laptops to allow every child in the group access to their own computer and the ability to take an online test or assignment during computer time.
This project will make a difference to my students because it will allow them the opportunity to do something productive on the computer during computer centers, rather than just playing a game.
It will help my students review key concepts they need to review in math and become a stronger reader and faster at math facts by allowing them to log in to our online curriculum.
