    The students that are being benefited by the access to new technology are Title 1 students in one of the counties known for a high percentage of lower SES families. My students are STEMM Magnet and they are very bright and inquisitive. The use of technology has helped my students to participate and be more involved in the global education community. My students are determined learners who yearn for variety and excitement in their lessons the incorporation of technology in the classroom has allowed them to have access to more learning opportunities and resources.

    I have students in the first and second year of Spanish who are just beginning to carry out basic conversations in their new language. A high number of these students come from low poverty homes, and their exposure to other cultures has been expanded with your generous donation. My students who are curious about the world outside of their environment and desire more knowledge from the outside world now have the great opportunity to benefit from new technology. Your donations has helped me widen my students' knowledge about the world; as a result, this project has helped me produce more empathetic students who have a widen point of view of the world they live in, which are attributes we must work to instill in our students. The use of technology has definitely helped me shape my students' perception about the world which is a critical component that is needed in a productive society. I have the genuine intention to empower my students by providing a well-rounded education. The helped provide d by our generous donors this has been possible. We are grateful to the donors who have contributed for this to happen.

    Through your generation donation I am now able to engage my students in the language learning process by providing authentic examples of the target culture; the use of technology has enabled my students to expand their language-learning opportunities. It will also help my students to use the target language in culturally appropriate ways to accomplish authentic tasks; therefore, facilitating and mediating language learning for all my students.
