I am in need of a desktop computer in my own classroom. I
need this computer for many different reasons. One of the reasons is for my
students to have complete internet access in the classroom. I have many lessons
I would like to include the internet, but I do not have a computer or internet
access. If I had this computer with internet access I would be able to
incorporate many different teaching strategies and tools. I can show videos on
the computer and use different websites for the lessons I am teaching.
Another great use of a computer in my classroom is access
to email. If I can have my own classroom computer I am able to keep a constant
look on my email throughout the day. There are so many reasons a teacher should
keep a look at their email throughout the day. One reason is to be in constant
communication with parents. If a parent is in need to contact me during the
day, the parent can shoot me an email. I can keep a look at my email all day,
and email the parent back immediately. Another reason for having a constant use
for email in my classroom is email with the faculty. If I have a quick question
for another faculty member or have something I found that might be useful for
another grade level teacher I can shoot them an email with the information in
it. They could use what I send them in their lesson they might be working on at
that moment.
I can also use this computer for the
students to do their own research and to take test. The school puts a big emphases
on AR testing. Having this computer in the room can be a big help to giving my
students more time in the day to take test. Right now we are having to use the library
for AR testing. The library is only open for us to use a few hours of the day.
A lot of times when the library is open for students, I am teaching math or
science. This is not a good time for my students to miss. If we had our own
classroom computer then we could take test any free time we have throughout our
day.
Having a computer in our classroom
would be wonderful, but without certain accessories the computer will not be as
effective as it could be if we had certain accessories. The accessories I am
asking for with our computer is a wireless printer, copier, and scanner all in
one. Having a wireless printer, copier, and scanner all in one will benefit me
and the students. Having this accessory I will be able to print or make copies
of worksheets for the students. I also can make copies of different announcements
I need to send home. Having this in the room can help me not have to leave the
room while students are working. While students are working on their
assignments or reading I can make copies and print off different things I need
to send home with the students. Having this printer and copier and scanner all
in one can be such a big resource for the classroom.
