Needs:
I am in need of technology in my classroom. Our school is a Title 1 school which consist of low-income families. Majority of my students don't have access to technology at home. I would like to afford my students the opportunity to be expose to as much technology in my classroom and use it effectively. I would like my students to practice using technology in class, and prepare for the assessments which are all web-based.
My Philosophy:
I believe all students are high achiever, if given the proper teaching and resources. I believe all students should start out of the learning gate on an equal playing field, regardless of background and socio-economic status.
