The Internet in Mrs. Smith's 7th Grade Classroom
I am a 7th grade English teacher for a public school in Southeast Missouri. I currently teach two classes- reading and writing- and I have approximately 150 students. Last year, my district adopted the 1:1 initiative where every student has been given a device. I have a Moodle page where I base many of our classroom lessons. My district also uses Gmail and Google Drive to enhance student learning. Every student was provided with a Gmail address, and we use a program called Hapara where I can send out documents to students and access their Google Drive accounts for grading, etc. While I do have classroom sets of both our reading and writing textbooks, we intentionally chose books when we updated them two years ago that have online copies. This year has been full of changes, but I have been working to embrace technology in my classroom and doing all I can to enhance my students' learning through the use of the technology, web tools, and devices.

I think it's important that all textbook companies start introducing online editions. Although many schools have not gone to the 1:1 initiative yet, I feel in the next 10 years or so most schools will be there. It's the quickest way for students to be able to access a vast amount of research at their fingertips. The cost is great, but well worth it in the end.
