Interrupt the Status Quo by Ending Technology Ghettos

Funded Nov 3, 2019

My students and I are so grateful for your help providing us with iPads. The students are so excited to learn with these hand held computers. Computer Science is coming alive in my classroom because of your generous donations!

Students are not only able to define terms such as algorithm, debugging and looping. They are also able to apply these concepts through the use of applications such as Scratch and Scratch, Jr. The learning doesn't stop there. Struggling students also use the tablets during our morning reading cycle (10,10,10) to catch up on skills such as letter and sound recognition as well as early decoding skills.

The learning aspect of technology in the classroom is wonderful. However what means the most to my little heroes is the fact that someone cares. The fact that people out there knew there was a need and cared enough about them to help supply that need. For children who are facing such great obstacles and continue to show up every day. It means a lot to have someone show up for them. And so from my heroes to the heroes who made this happen: Keep flying high and never tuck in your capes! You are appreciated!”

With gratitude,

Ms. Murchison
