In January, I wrote a grant to receive 30 laptop computers and a hand-held video camera for my classroom. I am so excited to announce that I was one of the applicants selected. This means that each of my students will be able to use their very own computer each day.
I can't even tell you how much this will impact my lessons and the students' learning! Soon I will write a post all about one-to-one computing and how it impacts the classroom, but for now I'm just going to be pumped that I got the grant! This is so AWESOME!!!!!
Congratulations! Being a teacher myself that is a very big deal. Maybe you need to teach me how to write grants so I can get some help for my classroom. Right now I am short 10 calculators. I don't have enough for each student in any of my classes. I'd love to know if the computers help improve your benchmarks scores!
