Impact to My Classroom

# of Students Impacted: 100

IT Academy students save all of their work on a CCPS file server. Students are unable to access their files from home or when the network is down. Additionally, files on the server are sometimes damaged or deleted. The impact of this grant is that 100 IT Academy students can now save a copy of their work to their own personal flash drive. This ensures they won't lose any electronic files and that they have access to the files 100% of the time. These files will continue to build over their years creating a "digital portfolio" of IT Academy work that can be used for college and beyond. Thank you Richard Clemens for funding this important classroom grant request for $287.90. My students and I are most appreciative!

Original Grant Overview

Goal

Students build and maintain digital portfolio of projects they worked on in the IT Academy at Immokalee HS

What will be done with my students

At the Immokalee HS IT Academy, virtually all student work is done on computers. Student work is stored under their student number on the CCPS network. However, students don't have access to this network at home and the network is not 100% reliable at school. The result is that students require a personal flash drive to store their work. The personal flash drive allows them 100% availability to all of their active projects and a repository for digital portfolio of work completed in IT Academy courses.

Benefits to my students

100% availability of digitally stored IT Academy student work including:
- Word documents
- Powerpoint presentations
- Excel spreadsheets
- Python computer programs
- Access databases
- Adobe Dreamweaver web sites
- and other digitally produced files
