Milford’s innovative teaching idea, “Chromebook 1:1 Community,” is focused on using technology to help students achieve their best in the classroom and become life-long learners. The program will give students in grades second, third and fourth access to Chromebooks to use on a daily basis. Students and teachers will collaborate in small groups and use the Chromebooks to work on assignments, projects and discussions through Google Classroom and other educational sites. In addition to providing better collaboration and giving individual students the freedom to work at their own pace, teachers will have more time to work one-on-one with students who need additional assistance. Milford hopes the project will show her elementary school students the power technology can play in helping them achieve their educational goals.
