Technology in my TA Classroom

As I mentioned earlier, I am currently doing my teacher assisting at Oakridge Middle School.  The purpose of this post is to identify the kinds of technology this school has to offer its students. So, I will begin with the technology that is in the classroom and continue with what the rest of the middle school has to offer. 
In the classroom:

• One cart with 40 Chromebooks.
• Teacher's desktop
• Overhead projector (connected to teacher's desktop)
• Elmo (connected to teacher's desktop and displayed over projector)

In school:

• Two more Chromebook carts
• Computer lab in library (30 desktops)

What is listed above is the extent of the technology the students are provided in the classroom.  They are not permitted to bring their own devices into the classroom as even their phones must be left in their lockers while in class. 

In the classroom the students use the laptops to do Delta Math, which is an online assessment program.  For this program, the entire class takes the same test and students have either 1 minute, 45 seconds, or 30 seconds to answer each question.  After answering the question, the student must wait for the time to pass before moving on to the next question to ensure the entire class is moving at the same pace.  For each question, the teacher reads aloud the prompt on the students' screen and sets the timer.  There is usually close to 40 problems, so it typically takes about a half hour to take these assessments.  Additionally, these tests are required for all grades K-8 to identify which students need extra attention in math.

Below is the stated "Technology Vision" for Oakridge posted on their website here, 

"Oakridge Public Schools will integrate a technology-rich environment that transparently accelerates learning, enabling our students to flourish in a competitive global economy." 

I believe that a goal of the Delta Math program described above is to provide this "technology-rich environment" so that even the students who come from homes without computers may find themselves proficient in their use.
