:

At Redeemer Elementary we educate our students academically, socially and spiritually. We have passionate teachers who work hard to make learning applicable and enjoyable for our students. We believe that by implementing technology in the classroom we will not only enhance student learning but we will prepare students for the technological-advanced society we live in. Not only will technology enhance learning but it will boost student participation and will reach all types of learners. We want to grow and transform Redeemer into an elite Christian private school for ALL children in the LA area. Because Redeemer is a small, affordable, private school our funding is limited. With the help of this grant we can help students reach their full potential and obtain a successful future. What’s more important than the next generation of Los Angeles?

Please explain how you will evaluate your work.

:

We will keep accurate records of student performance after implementing the technology in the classroom. It will be interesting to see how student participation and test scores are affected from the use of technology.
