Help Our Science Students to Learn Through Technology!
My students need laptops and an iPad to access electronic assignments, analyze data from science labs, and stay organized to become successful in their challenging academic classes.
I teach Physical Setting/Chemistry course at an urban, inner city performing arts high school. Everyday I walk into work and realize how lucky I am to have such a great job with fantastic students! With the new Common Core State Standards coming into effect, I am faced with new teaching challenges to reach my students in the most effective way possible. Your support can help me achieve my goal of becoming the best and most innovative teacher that I can be in order to guide my students towards their academic success in science.
My goal is not just to have my students excel in the classroom but to develop into knowledgeable citizens ready to make an influential impact on the world.
My Project
I teach Physical Setting/Chemistry course at an urban, inner city performing arts high school. Everyday, I strive to teach not only the required curriculum but the real-world connections and data needed to fully explain these science subjects to artistically inclined students. My goal is not just to have my students excel in the classroom but to develop into knowledgeable citizens ready to make an influential impact on the world.
Textbooks in STEM classes are grossly outdated.
In order for students to completely understand complex, cutting edge information involving these topics, they need access to real-time data and research via the world wide web, etc.
With the technology of laptops and an iPad, we will be able to provide opportunities, multiple entry points and activities which can be completed by students of all different skill levels and learning styles. In addition, all laptop devices will be utilized as an interactive tool (smart-board feature) in all classrooms and laboratory rooms. Students tend to enjoy the active learning style and perform extremely well on assessments given to them. We will also be able to engage my students with multi-media experiences which are extremely appealing to the social media generation. This opportunity given to my students will engage them mentally and physically throughout. Finally, all math and science teachers will be able to reach students in an entirely different way instead of just projecting the material by the use of the chalkboard.
