Funded Sep 16, 2020Thank you for your generosity. During these difficult times, it is especially appreciated. Virtual learning has been difficult for all involved, from the parents and students to the teachers. We're learning as many ways to keep our students learning and engaged, which isn't easy. In particular, in our school where poverty and language barriers limit accessibility in addition to technology limitations.
Your gift has allowed me to receive the latest laptop on the market. With this piece of equipment, I can create lessons from platforms such as, Nearpod, Flipgrid, Kahoot!, Quizzes, and Adobe Spark to name a few. These site require a device that can access the platform to create lessons and assignments that children can access both synchronously and asynchronously. For example, Quizzes is a site where assessments are created. These assessments are administered as a game. The children enjoy "racing" to the top as they answer questions correctly. If my device crashes, there goes to game! This laptop has given me the ability to stay connected with my students as best as I can.
I look forward to the day that we can physically be in class and the children can safely use this piece of technology. The latest features will allow children to create presentations and share them with the world. Thank you for giving my students and me the equipment needed to give them an education that they deserve. THANK YOU!”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Navarro
