Help Give Students Access to Technology

Funded May 13, 2018

Thank you so much for donating to my project. Teaching in a school with a diverse population can be difficult. It is not easy reaching students with learning disabilities and English Language Learners with the traditional U.S. History textbook. Having a Chromebook for each of my students to use makes it possible to provide material that is "just right" to each learner.

With the help of applications/webpages like Google Classroom and Kahoot (which allows students to compete against each other in quiz games), I am able to provide a variety of meaningful learning opportunities to my students using their Chromebooks. Technology can be very motivating to young learners. They are being raised in a digital world where information is at their fingertips. Why should the classroom be any different? Of course I still use many "traditional" methods in the classroom, but it is good to be able to give my students access to the benefits technology brings.

Thanks again for your generous donation. You contribution will help a great group of students who are some of NYC's most neediest. They, and I, are forever grateful.”
