Module 5 Comments

Marlisa,

Chromebooks would be an excellent tool for engaging students in 21st century skills. I've had numerous experiences using technology tools with students and observing the transformations in each student.  Currently, I work as an Early Intervention teacher and  it's my responsibility to help struggling students make gains in math and reading. Last week, my students were using Kindles for math practice and my administrator was astonished at their level of engagement and the ability to stay focused. Let me add, the app we were using was Common Core aligned.  Looking at student test scores will help you analyze the benefits of the chromebooks, and you could also ask for student opinions for qualitative information. I hope you will consider actually applying for the IRA grant.  Nice work!
