The Description

With these funds I will be able to add 8 Samsung Chromebooks (valued at $219.99 a piece at amazon) to the old donated laptops we are currently using in the classroom. Our classroom is driven by push for mastery learning. We use laptops to practice our algebra skills and concepts to mastery using online practice sites like www.braingeniec.k12.org, www.khanacademy.org, ck12.org,  and www.sophia.org. The path to showing mastery is usually different for everyone because of differences in abilities and levels readiness. The use of these learning sites allows us to differentiate that path. The problem is that we do not have enough laptops for the class sizes we currently have. We need at least 8 more inexpensive notebooks, like Samsung Chromebooks, to make up for the deficiency.

Back Up Plan

If we don't reach our entire goal we will purchase only as many Google Chromebooks as the funds can cover. Even one or two additional notebooks will make a difference!

Thank You, Investors!

October 13, 2014

On behalf of all my students, I would like to express our gratitude to all who donated toward this project. Your donation has made it possible to acquire three brand new chromebook workstations to augment our classroom technology. More students are now able to access online practice resources during tutorials times. So thank you for investing in America's futute by investing in children's education in my classroom.

Thank you!

Mr. Owoyemi

About the Creator

I have been teaching mathematics at various levels in low-income schools for 15 years. Teaching is my second career by choice. After having worked as an engineer for 10 years, I decided to go back to the classroom to teach the type students I was growing up. I taught 6th through 8th grade math at regular public schools for eight years before joining the charter school system at the high school level to teach Algebra 2. My passion is to help students see the beauty in mathematics and perhaps debunk some of the myths and anxieties students have carried with them for many years. My hope is to awaken the love of mathematics in my students so that they are free to pursue any kind of dreams they may have in life. I love helping students see the unity, connections, and real-life applications that are inherent in mathematical ideas, which make studying mathematics fun! I love using technology tools to guide students to mastery of skills.
I have a bachelors degree in electrical engineering and a masters degree in education with focus on curriculum and instruction.
