2. Hypothesis
If a 1:1 ratio of Chromebooks, used
collaboratively, increases Advanced Biology
Student’s ability to interpret and analyze data,
then 50% of students will increase their level
of proficiency at least one step.

3. Project Goals
mart Goal 1:
the end of the first quarter of the second semester, 50% of
dents in Advanced Biology will improve in their ability to collect,
alyze, and interpret data to form conclusions by increasing their
el of proficiency at least one step as evidence from a
ndardized rubric.
mart Goal 2:
the end of the first quarter of the second semester, 100% of
dents in Advanced Biology that are students identified as Latino
eSIS will improve in their ability to collect, analyze, and interpret
ta to form conclusions by increasing their level of proficiency at
st one step as evidence from a standardized rubric.

4. Technology
• 40 Google
Chromebooks
o 1 device : 1 student
o Web-based applications:
GoogleDocs, Blogs, Videos,
Lab Simulations, Animations
o "Flipped"
Classroom with at
home video lectures

5. Data Collection: Methods
– Lab Assessments:
• Common standard rubric assess ability to present,
interpret, and analyze data.
• Four labs conducted during first semester
2. Student/Parent Cite Council
• Monthly discussions on current data, troubleshooting,
student & parent perspective
• Improvements/ changes made immediately
3. Student Technology Feedback Survey
• Focuses on the following: general and educational
technology use, comfort, technology influence on
learning, etc
• Given four times during first semester

10. Supporting Factors
• Collaboration between two teachers
• Experimentation with tools available
• Cross curricular use of Google Docs increased
student familiarity
• Teacher familiarity with tools and comfort in trial
and error
• 1:1 Device ratio

11. Hurdles
• Chromes Not Best Fit For Science Classrooms
C
o Unable to download software for advanced simulations
o Incompatible with Vernier probe ware
• Future Use In Heterogeneous Classrooms
F
o Access to reliable computers & internet at home
o Limited library hours
• Training & Support
T
• Getting Devices Before Routines Established

12. Suggestions
• Support and training for new technology devices
• Opportunity to request or apply for small scale
needs
• Don't use Google Chromebooks in science
classes, writing labs yes
