Marybeth Mosher
8th grade Science Teacher
Hello I am an 8th grade teacher in an urban school system in Southeastern Massachusetts. I currently teach science in a room with no functional computers and no lab equipment. My students are at an unfair advantage to peers in more affluent districts and having access to technology would allow us to utilize the numerous activities and virtual labs available. A cart of 30 Chromebooks would enable students to do hands on activities daily as well as allow for differentiated lessons addressing varied learning needs and styles. Chromebooks would replace the need for consumables and each student would have access to every aspect of 21st Century skills.
