A Computer That Works
Funded May 3, 2021Thank you for your donation. The computer has allowed me to be able to create content and facilitate learning experiences for my students.
Because of the computer, I was able to create digital science projects such as creating a cookbook with recipes from my students' home countries that use edible plants as ingredients that we grew in class. The cookbooks incorporate audio interviews with family from their home country that discuss the cultural significance of the recipe. I wouldn't be able to create this mixed media type of cookbook if I didn't have the computer. This is just one example of many projects that I've been able to do because of the computer.
The computer has allowed me to create more interactive materials for my students than printed paper alone would. My students are learning English and I am able to incorporate literacy support strategies into the digital worksheets and slide shows that allow my students to access the materials and content more easily.
The computer has also allowed me to conserve printing paper by creating digital worksheets, which as a science is very important to me. Thank you for having a positive impact on my classroom and my students' education.”

A Monitor to Help Me See All My Students
Funded Nov 18, 2020I want to thank you again for donating to my class to help me be able to get an extra monitor. The monitor that you donated was a huge huge help in being able to facilitate and manage a remote classroom. With the extra monitor, I was able to simultaneously see my students on Zoom while working through the documents for our class. The extra real estate on the screen was truly helpful.
Remote teaching has not been easy over the past year. However, one of the benefits I've found is how our community came together to support one another. I saw the teaching community come together as we went through this shared experience of learning how to teach in a remote environment. I've also felt the support from friends, family, and strangers in helping me be able to continue to support my students during the pandemic. Thank you for that support and your generosity. The monitor truly helped me be able to deliver better instruction in a remote environment.”
With gratitude,
Mr. Derian
