EDLD+5364+Week+2

This week in EDLD 5364, I read a very interesting article. The article was about the use of technology in low socioeconomic schools. The study was conducted on 1st grade students in a low SES campus to see how the use of technology in the classroom affected the students. It was shown that the computer and technology usage helped to improve the performance results of the students in that class. I found the article to be interesting, because to directly correlates with the class students that I work with on a daily basis. I am currently a first grade teacher in what is considered a low socioeconomic campus. I try to use as much technology in my classroom as possible. But there are many things in my classroom that are not working, and due to budget cuts it's almost impossible to get it fixed or replaced before the school year ends. I am hoping with the opening of a new campus, next year we can get more working equipment. That way I can begin to implement what I have learned.
