Turning Language Into Play!
Funded Nov 26, 2016My students are so grateful for the notebooks and wireless technology that have allowed us to put the "fun" in functional! The students have been able to use the composition notebooks to reflect on meaningful quotes and write original plays that they are able to perform in class. The wire-free environment created by the wireless keyboard and mouse as well as the adapters for the mac allow for the students to have a worry-free environment in which to perform. The students will be able to use these journals throughout their 4 years at our middle school to be able to see how much their writing has improved and how far they have come creatively while bringing their productions to life.”

Building School Culture through Technology
Funded Jul 18, 2014This project has truly changed how my students are able to learn. They are able to use the camera and equipment to bring their ideas to life. They were able to take a story they studied in class, write it into a screenplay and film it. How cool is that! The possibilities that this project has given my students are endless. We will not only be using this camera in the classroom, we will now be able to chronicle many events around our school such as assemblies and sporting events so they can live on. On behalf of some very grateful students and teachers, thank you so very much for the possibilities you have provided for us!”

Technology on the go
Funded Jul 1, 2011Wow, the generosity of everyone who has donated through this website continues to amaze me! The technology cart that you have provided for my student's has really transformed our classroom. It has made the curriculum accessible to all of my student's. They are able to see their work projected onto the board through the document camera on the cart. They also can view informational articles and videos by using the laptop on the cart.
One of the coolest features is the mobility of the cart. I am able to use the cart in the classroom, the auditorium and even outside now. Thank you for giving us our "Technology on the Go." You have truly made a difference in the education of each and every one of my student's.”

Technology or Bust: Bringing the World to Lawrence
Funded Feb 19, 2011 Where do I begin to thank you all for such generosity and willingness to help us in our classroom. SInce the arrival of our Macbook, we have been able to create a music video for our PEACE program at school, the students have taken turns creating podcasts as study tools, and we have been able to have interactive classes with the lessons and PowerPoint's projected onto the screen. For me, it has completely changed the way I teach. I can now better prepare my students for the world which is awaiting them. That world is full of technology and now, because of you, these students will be confident and prepared to take their futures by the reigns and change the world in ways it has never known. So, on behalf of an extremely grateful class, thank you for makes our futures that much brighter”

Look What I Did Up On The Big Screen!!!!
Funded Dec 15, 2010The face of my classroom has changed. The new technology you have helped bring to the students has already made such a difference. The students are so proud to see their work, which they hundred, up on the big screen. They feel truly accomplished. It also helps me, as a teacher, to bring their work to the whole class. We are able to dissect and learn from each other without having to recopy the work on the chalk board. The world is an ever-changing and advancing place, and with your generous donation, you have just put our kids back in the driver's seat.”

We Wish We Could See the PowerPoint on the Big Screen!!!!
Funded Nov 23, 2010Wow, it is amazing how this one piece of technology has changed the face of my class. In the week that I have used it, I have seen a noticeable change in my students. They are much more engaged in the lesson. The world is ever changing, and being able to bring a multi-media approach to the students education will truly allow them to adapt at higher levels. Our class is presenting their first PowerPoint presentation this week, and that is all because of your generous donation. Thank you so much from the bottom of my hearts. Your generosity has truly made all the difference.”
