The use of technology is almost a daily activity in my classroom, especially with social emotional learning. What becomes a problem is when students do not have up to date equipment and have to learn on broken down used equipment. Even though they are great about using what they have they know other jurisdictions have new equipment. It is distracting for many of my students who have focusing issues and they miss important instruction from me. By having a new laptop, students will be able to avoid all of these problems and focus on increasing their social emotional learning! By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement. Students will be able to simply focus on the material at hand, and not whether their materials are going to work or not. Plus in this technology literate world, any interaction with updated technology will increase their literacy as well as their desire to learn and use the new technology!
