On a typical school day, my student attend school from 7:45 to 3:10. They attend school five days a week. My hope is that we will be able to one day transition to a 4 day school week, allowing teachers more time to plan for their weeks and students more time to work on homework and studies at home.

In my classroom, student access to technology is rather limited. There are 2 desktops and 1 laptop to my 12 students in class, so I allow them alternating turns on computers and laptops in order to complete assignments. My hope is to raise money to buy more technology devices for my classroom.

My personal hope for technology is to better understand some aspects of newer programs and uses for my students. My personal goal is to also raise money to build a stronger selection of technology to use in the classroom as well.

For my students, I hope that mastering some aspects of technology and the uses of this technology, allows them a stronger sense of self. I hope that exposure to technology allows them the chance to grow a more powerful connection to education and growth. I hope that technology allows them the ability to feel more connected to the world around them as well.
