My students can not afford to eat much less have computer access at home. Our school has a few labs available at hours athletes can not make, and any classroom computers are out dated and horrible. I recently helped with a grant that made a dent and I plan to keep plugging away little by little. The problem I am facing now is the technology is advancing faster that I can raise funds. When I finally achieve a class set of laptops they are out dated.

This is better then nothing, and using Google to store work allows us to stretch the small memory of the old computers. We don't have all the latest software, but if we have an internet connection we can still do a lot. <BR/><BR/>And I really love that now I just carry a small bag to and from school-no papers, no journals! I do all my grading on my laptop, sitting on my couch:)<BR/><BR/>Richard-I agree that one day all schools will have one-to-one computers, but right now that is absolutely not the case in many schools. Most of my students do not have computers at home. I would love to see on this blog some ideas about how technology and paperless classrooms can bridge the economic gap in schools. Students in poverty are even further behind because they do not have the technological skills that is the norm in other communities. Google apps are free. What else is out there?Mrs. Magyarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11526036502461776816noreply@blogger.com
