  • King Stylus

    Funded Sep 21, 2022

    Thank you for your generous donations that helped fund a crucial technology component in the classroom. The Apple brand stylus provides students with seamless learning in regards to the excellent visibility of information that is projected in response to the pens use.

    Students love being able to interact with the iPad and pen, and it keeps students engaged and active in the learning process. The pen provides an aspect of relevant excitement in the classroom because it is a tool that is relatively new.

    I love when students are able to interact with a product that is not easily accessible to them and how they grow and learn how to use it. Thanks again for making this happen.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Aaron K. Ledbetter

    This classroom project was brought to life by The DonorsChoose Community and 4 other donors.
  • The Beautiful Game

    Funded Jun 9, 2022

    Thank you all for funding this project. Your kindness is very much appreciated and will help my players succeed on the practice field and in games. These new resources will spark so much growth and opportunity. Thanks again for all that you do and the support for projects that impact players lives and futures.”

  • I'm Gonna Need a Bigger Bag

    Funded Sep 13, 2021

    Thank you for supporting this project. My players were grateful for the new gear and how they were able to use it during the season. The bags were the perfect size to carry all of the soccer gear and additional items as the season progressed.

    In addition to the practical use of the bags, team camaraderie grew because everyone was uniform. Simple things like having a team bag can make big impacts during the season.

    I appreciate the kindness displayed by each donation and the impact the contribution made.”

  • You Have Permission to Breathe

    Funded Oct 3, 2019

    Anxiety can creep in unnoticed and devastate all of us. Students face mounting pressure in many aspects of life, and it often spills over into the classroom. It is part of my job to make my classroom safe and a place for all students to learn despite the baggage that is attached.

    The privacy testing shields that were provided allows students to focus on their assessment without feeling like the whole world is lookin down at them.

    Students are able to work on assessments and assignments with a clear mind, which ultimately helps them to focus on applying their knowledge in completing the task at hand. Thank you for your support.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Aaron K. Ledbetter

  • Aaron Einstein

    Funded Sep 24, 2019

    The big things matter and so do the little things. We may look at this project and think that pencils, scissors, and glue are not essential to core learning principals, but they in fact contribute as building blocks to understanding.

    All students do not learn the same way, and it is important to grasp this concept when planning lessons. These materials helped me have the resources to help students visually understand concepts in new ways. Without these materials student success in learning geometric concepts or number theory would have been far less.

    Mathematics can make students fearful and uncomfortable in the classroom, but being able to provide students with interactive activities has lessened those fears and helped students become more confident in their abilities.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Aaron K. Ledbetter

  • Wire Wire Go Away!

    Funded May 12, 2019

    Thank you for the support in making this technology available to my students. We live in a world that is constantly changing, and educators must adapt to the growing demand in technological advancements that can positively influence how a student receives and manipulates information.

    The Apple TV that was donated to my classroom allows me to more frequently distribute concepts with the ease of clicking a button rather than attaching multiple cables to project my ideas.

    Students love projecting projects and are able to contribute ideas to lessons in new ways as well. This project has helped students become more active in the classroom in regards to participation, and it helps students who are uncomfortable in the learning process be able to rest easy because of the integration of technology, which is something they are good at.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Aaron K. Ledbetter

When a person stands in front of an audience and is speaking, it does not necessarily mean anyone is listening. Therefore, relationships have to be built to drive instruction. Every student deserves a chance. They deserve an opportunity to increase their understandings, motivations, and desires to become their best self. Engagement leads to relevancy, and relevancy in the 21st century points to technology. A wire here and a wire there may seem harmless, but we live in world that is constantly changing, and the resources that are available can change the way students feel and think about their course work. My proposal would be to connect an Apple TV to a projector in the classroom that would enable students to connect school and personal devices. With a simple click of a button, a group trying to present a project about the coordinate plane could connect and share their ideas with the whole class. Students would be more engaged because of the simplicity of the technology as well as the ability to showcase their own ideas created on phones and other devices.
