Our middle school is receiving a state-of-the-art computer lab with tons of supplies very soon! Why do we need a computer lab? It is unreasonable to expect every teacher to supply their own technology for their classrooms. Technology is such an important component of the teaching process because it has been linked to higher student academic achievement (Bixler, 2019)! For this reason, we have been advocating for a space that teachers can use to incorporate technology into their lessons without paying out of pocket for their own supplies. This is a project that the entire school can benefit from!
This new lab will house six new roomy tables where students can collaborate while learning. There will be iPads and tablets for students to use while in the lab. When teachers are ready, they can " step up their game" by incorporating 3D printing into lessons and even design elements with the Cricut! Students can learn coding and robotics in the lab as well. The room will also host a green screen area for teachers and students to utilize their creativity while learning. These technology devices will increase students learning and interest (Ayob et al., 2020). We are excited for you to see this project in action! Stay tuned for videos and photographs of our students and teachers engaging in an exciting learning environment!
