Empowering With Technology
In an ever-changing world, students are asked to use 21st century skills to communicate, create, and to collaborate. In order to effectively teach these skills to our students, we must have 21st century tools and programs available for student use. I believe that having chrome books available for students will help individualize student instruction, build upon 21st century skills, and help prepare students for the future. After a recent training on flipping the traditional classroom, I realized that our students are at a disadvantage. We do not have the proper 21st century tools available to provide them with a technology, student-centered approach. To address this problem I will implement Google classroom in my second grade classroom. To implement this strategy students will use chrome books, Google classroom and Google applications, as well as other educational based programs. The outcomes that I expect from this innovation are: higher student assessment scores and to build more independence and confidence in each student.
