Copy That! We Can Write a Book!
Funded Jul 29, 2023My students are excited to use the printer to bring their "All About Me " book to life. Many are still in the writing process as they are special needs students and require significantly more time to complete the writing process. They are also using the printer to print out their essays and other writing assignments.
The printer you blessed us with gets much use and is very much appreciated! We are excited about it's multi-functions and larger format printing. Students appreciate that you thought enough of them to sponsor their classroom and so am I. It is people like you that make learning fun and accessible .”

This classroom project was brought to life by Quill and 2 other donors.With Technology We Can Grow!
Funded Dec 2, 2022It is with great excitement and gratitude that we express our appreciation for the iPads you provided for our classroom. Many of my students do not have technology at home and are unable to complete required projects. Students used iPads to complete research for their Black History projects , completing reading and math programs and as a reward for good behavior.
The use of the iPads helped my students with their literacy and numeracy skills by allowing them to access programs that were interactive and engaging. They were active learners. The use of the iPads enriched their learning experiences and served as a multipurpose learning tool to boost learner outcomes.
The iPads were also use as a reward for good behavior. Students created art work , played interactive games and listened to music . Needless to say they are always competing to get a chance to use these devices for fun! We appreciate your company helping us grow in many ways with technology.”

Discovering Education Through Technology
Funded Nov 20, 2018We are excited about being able to use technology in our classroom. Most of my students do not own computers, laptops or iPads in their home. They only get to experience the use of these items within the class. Through your donations, my students have been able to complete classwork, read books, play games , do reports and surf the super information highway.
My students are mostly excited about using the new iPad Pro as a reward for good behavior . They compete to use the ipad and are learning to curb inappropriate behavior . My students like to play games together, draw anime characters and work cooperatively on reports and projects. These students are Behaviorally Emotionally Disturbed and are challenged to develop cooperative learning and social skills. In other words they find it very difficult to get along with others. Their behavior impedes learning. For the most part, the excitement over use of the iPad Pro has helped them demonstrate growth in their behavior development.
All of the students are excited about using technology. I as well as my students wish we had more to go around. We are thankful for the ability to share what we have and are in hopes of securing more iPads in the future. The artists in the class are wanting to create their own story book characters and are accessing Procreate and other programs. We appreciate the wonderful opportunities you have afforded our class.”

This classroom project was brought to life by Chevron Fuel Your School.Creativity and Learner Success Through the Use of Technology
Funded Oct 2, 2017We are thankful and appreciative of you taking an interest in the education of our class. The students send their regards and best wishes. They are excited about using technology in the classroom. Most of the students do not have access to technology within the home. It is difficult for them to keep up with homework assignments and classwork that require the use of computers for research and the exploration of information.
Your recent gift of an iPad Pro has added to the educational success of my students. They also having emotional behavioral problems are better behaved and work hard for a chance to use the devices donated to our class. The iPad is used for research, reading programs, social studies assignments, and as a reward for good behavior. We are grateful to people like you who help us meet our goals of making learning gains and improving behavior. The iPad Pro was a great gift. However, I had to use my personal funds to buy the apple pencil to insure optimum performance of the device.”

Technology and Me for the 21st-Century
Funded Nov 28, 2016Thank you for your contribution to our project. We are excited about being able to use technology in our classroom. We are using our computers to complete classwork , research and access reading and math programs that help students level up in their immediate area of weakness.
Students are excited to use computers in school. Most do not have the use of computers at home. They are able to complete home learning assignments and research projects in the classroom that would usually not get done. When school work is complete, students are able to play educational games and listen to calming music. listening to music helps students with emotional and behavior concerns calm down and change negative behavior.
Students compete to use the computers. The ability to use computers encourage them to stay on task and complete assignments. We are still in need of additional computers as the computers within the school are outdated and/or broken down. However, having the partnership with Donors Choose and donors like you bring my students closer to participating on the super information highway to access research and classwork. Your thoughtfulness and help is greatly appreciated!”

Technology for the 21st Century 2015
Funded Aug 27, 2015We are grateful for the kindness you showed us in bringing technology into our school. Students used the computers and ipads to access textbooks, surf the internet to conduct research for projects and complete iReady Reading and iReady Math computers programs. This resource was greatly appreciated! Students that do not have the use of computers at home were able to complete homelearning assignments. They were also able to use the computers as a reward for excellent behavior and completing classwork in a timely fashion.
We are immensely grateful for the kindness you have showed us in investing in the future of these students. They are still in need of more technology in order to compete locally and globally on the super information highway. They fight for the opportunity to use the computers and ipads.Student behavior has increased positively because of their desire to use technology. Again, Thanks a million for investing in our class!”

Technology for the Twenty First Century
Funded Oct 14, 2014My students and I are extremely excited about your company funding our project. They could hardly keep still as the boxes began to arrive in our classroom. I wish you could have experienced the smiles on their faces as they were told the computers had arrived and would be installed in our classroom. Most do not have computers at home or transportation to access their local library.
Students use computers to access textbooks, surf the Internet to conduct research and complete assignments. This resource is greatly appreciated, as it allows students that do not have computers at home to interact with the super information highway to complete classwork as well as home learning assignments.
With this being the age of technology, computers are a necessary aid to classroom instruction. Students that are not able to write, are able to use the computer as a word processing device. Research for projects is more comprehensive, creative colorful and informative. Also, computers in the classroom help to differentiate instruction. Students are able to access information on a variety of topics on their instructional as well as independent levels. Computer time is also offered as a reward. Needless to say, student behavior has increased positively because of their desire to use the computer!
We are so excited and appreciative for the doors you have opened up for us by supporting our classroom with technology. Your kind act continues to put smiles on faces and increase students excitement for learning. We thank God for companies like yours that see the value of educating our youth.”

Technology for the 21st Century
Funded Dec 3, 2013Thanks a million for investing in the students of Horace Mann Middle School ! The students were excited from day one of receiving their ipad. They took turns sharing and was able to maintain proper classroom behavior to gain privileges and points for extra individual use. Their only concern was the need for more ipads . One was greatly appreciated, but not nearly enough to go around. They often spoke of needing more technology in the classroom.
Students were able to use the ipad to access the Internet to complete research, play educational games, read books, practice math and explore various apps. Although these students have emotional behavioral deficits, they were able to work together cooperatively to share their treasured gift.
This project enabled me to provide my students with the much needed opportunity to explore the super information highway; enhancing their access to valuable resources that were available to them. This opened up a world of possibilities for them and added to their knowledge base. It is our prayer that we are blessed with more in the future.”
