  • Powering up Technology!

    Funded Feb 11, 2025

    Receiving the computer cart has truly transformed the way my classroom operates and significantly impacted my students' daily learning experience. Before we received the cart, managing classroom laptops was challenging. We had limited outlets, tangled cords, and students often forgot to charge the laptops at the end of the class period., which led to delays and interruptions during lessons. As a teacher working with students who benefit from consistent routines and structure, these challenges created unnecessary stress for both me and my students.

    Since the arrival of the computer cart, everything has changed for the better. The cart provides a designated, organized space for laptops to be stored and charged overnight and throughout the day. This ensures every student starts the school day with a fully charged device that is ready for learning. This cart has truly become more than just a storage solution-it has become an essential part of our classroom culture. It's a small but powerful tool that supports learning, promotes responsibility, and reduces distractions. On behalf of my students and myself, thank you for your contribution which has enabled us to feel more empowered and ready to learn.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Dunn

  • Empowering Students with Technology!

    Funded Oct 23, 2024

    My class is in awe and filled with gratitude for your selfless generosity. We thank you so much for funding our need for technology which has allowed my students to become more innovative and enhanced their ability to access educational platforms to supplement educational standards and improve their learning. Each student has access to a laptop and are actively engaged in learning.

    Words cannot express how your donation of the laptops has now allowed the students in my classroom to be able to access technological platforms such as I-Ready, BrainPop, IXL, and Vizzle which are utilized to support students with cognitive learning disabilities. They now have the ability to use these platforms to remediate their reading, math, listening and fine motor skills. We are forever grateful for this amazing resource.”

    Thank you so much for supporting our classroom. Because of your kindness and generous support, we are now able to keep our classroom and technology devices clean and germ safe.

Students enter the classroom with the expectation that everything they need for their safety and success is readily available.

The headphones have lessened unwanted distractions and allowed students to remain focused and engaged on their individualized lessons.

I plan to use these Kindle tablets in my classroom to enhance the learning of all my students. The tablets will allow me to program individualized lessons for students to complete at their own level and pace. Students with intellectual disabilities are visual learners and learn best when lessons are presented with pictures and diagrams. The tablets will definitely reach the sensory needs of my students. Our severely profound or physically impaired will have an opportunity to strengthen their motor skills utilizing computerized eye-hand therapeutic assignments. The touch screen monitor will allow them to become interactive in their lessons. The tablets will allow us to differentiate small group lessons that will compensate for an individual’s specific learning deficit. The tablets can provide innovative ways to enhance listening skills, reading, writing, math, science and motor skills. As a result, utilizing technology to individualize lessons will reduce the number of distractions often experienced in the classroom. Overall, access to technology will compensate for an individual’s specific learning deficit allowing them to work independently and improve their technical and literacy skills. No matter how diverse the children are they all have one thing in common, their love for technology!
