Today's students are growing up in a technology-focused world. Dell laptops will enable my kindergarten through 5th grade students to develop the digital literacy skills they need to be successful students. The laptops will be used by classes, small groups, and individual students when they come to the library.
Learning with technology promotes engagement, communication, and collaboration. My 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students will use the laptops to conduct online research on topics such as authors, inventors, role models, animals, and presidents. They will present information learned by creating slideshows, videos, and digital magazines and posters. Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grade students will use the laptops to support early literacy skills. They will listen to books online and visit websites with games that support reading skills.
Laptops will also be used to increase reading achievement as students will use them to take Accelerated Reader quizzes. Students read a book then take a computer-based quiz to assess their comprehension of the book. Students love earning points for correct answers and receiving prizes for their effort and hard work!
The possibilities for teaching with technology are endless! Students can create their own books, have online discussions about their favorite books, and even create a school newspaper. Please help me prepare my students to be productive students and citizens in our technology-focused world!
