The Keys to Education Are At Your Fingertips!

Funded Nov 2, 2020

Words cannot express how grateful my class and I are you to and your generosity. Through your acts of kindness, all of my students have been able to gain access to my class remotely.

With the technology, they have learned to translate documents into their native language on their own and some of them who are limited English proficient, are able to share their screen and use Google Translate to participate in classroom discussions. While using Zoom, the students are able to annotate my screen or their classmates screen to show their understanding of a concept. They're able to create, share, and collaborate on documents needed for class.

My students have a wonderful time using Nearpod. With Nearpod, the students can read, listen to, and translate documents into their native language. If there's a word that they are unfamiliar with, they can press the word for a picture and/or the proper pronunciation. We are able to play games that help to check their understanding. In addition, they have opportunities to draw, speak, or write their answers depending on their level of comfortability. They always request Nearpod for their learning experience.

One of the biggest impacts of your generosity is student growth! Every child has made an improvement in one or more content areas. They have moved at least one level in reading and they are able to express their understanding through pictures and words.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you! People like you make the world a better place and open doors for those who may not have had the opportunity otherwise.”

With gratitude,

Ms. Barger
