Chromebooks for Condors

donorschoose.org/project/chromebooks-for-condors/4046968

My Students
My students from the Archer Heights Neighborhood of Chicago's South Side. They are part of a pilot program that
helps students that would traditionally be passed over for entrance into Advanced Placement Courses. This
program gives children from all cultures and socioeconomic backgrounds an opportunity to grow from the rigorous
curriculum connected with an Advanced Placement course. While my students are excited to learn and grow from
this experience, they are inexperienced with Honors or Advanced Placement Courses. A majority of students are
entering this Senior Level AP class from a non-honors tracked course.

In addition, my Freshmen students are currently enrolled in the AVID Program.

This program emphasizes the cohort model to support students with college success. A majority of the AVID
Students will be First Generation college goers. In addition, many are Dreamers.

My Project
All educators want to believe that school is The Great Equalizer. No matter your zip code, no matter your last
name, school will provide EVERY student with the education that will allow students to transcend any roadblock
placed in their way.

Yet, if schools are to be The Great Equalizer we say they are, students need access to the technological tools often denied to
them.

Through the use of Chromebooks students will gain access to learning tools once beyond their reach. My hope is to
utilize the Google Suite to take my kids on virtual tours, help them learn how to give voice to their opinions through
Screencasting, and work together to generate a written product. The Chromebooks I have chosen can be used in a
rotation basis, so small groups can gain access to the tools that will give their education meaning.
