  • Class Materials for 2021-2022

    Funded Sep 14, 2021

    These materials used have been incredibly useful. Having an Apple TV makes connecting my slides and showing materials much more seamless. This allows me to use my time more wisely and not have to spend it connecting my computer. Additionally the having a printer to print last minute thing is very helpful. Furthermore, having writing materials is very important. Without them they simply would not being ti write their work. Lastly, curing these COVID-19 times we need to protect our students. Having masks to protect them is crucial.”

  • Classroom Materials

    Funded Dec 2, 2020

    These new resources provided students with the necessary tools in order to maximize student learning. Students were able to utilize all of these tools and materials in order to complete their assignments. Even though some of these items seem mundane such as staples, notepads, and headphones they very much were crucial fro their learning. Headphones especially during our time of Covid 19 where lots of family are working from, students need headphones to block out any noise that may be interrupting their learning. Thank you everyone for their support!”

  • Remote Learning Supporting Tools for Remote Teaching

    Funded Oct 31, 2020

    Thank you all for allowing to receive these products using the donation you have allotted me. Though these donations I was able to get many items that make my teaching more streamlined.

    First, having an extra monitor is crucial during these items, in addition to having separate noise cancelling headphones to better hear my students. Next, having a printer to organize thoughts, roll sheets, and other papers in order to track data in the moment has been very important during remote learning.

    Lastly, the last of item were not as crucial but necessary for everything else. The mini-dock helps connect my monitor to my laptop in addition to providing other ports for use during class. My laptop cover helps protect this laptop investment that in need for teaching. Lastly the cables are necessary in connecting my monitor and laptop. Thank you for making all of this happen.”

  • Necessary Tools: A Laptop to Support Teaching SPED Students

    Funded Oct 11, 2020

    Your generosity in securing me a laptop during these trying times is invaluable. Having a laptop allows me better stream my classes, as well as be more efficient during synchronous teaching. Moving between screens, conducting Nearpod lessons, and demonstrate navigating through assignments are just a few of the processes that are more successful on a laptop than on an iPad. My ability to record myself conducting lessons has proved to be positive with students. Particular students need step by step visual examples to understand what is expected of them, so having these videos for them to watch has been fruitful. Thank you for making this happen and with much luv.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Cortes

My laptop crashed and is beyond repair. Students will benefit from this because they will be able to use materials made with a MacBook Air, including but not limited to: graphic organizers, essay outlines, recorded videos to demonstrate instructions, and recorded class lessons. Additionally, the goal for students will be to complete classwork and understand science and English class lessons in order for them to be on track to graduate high school. Having proper technological tools in order to support these student goals will be essential. Furthermore, I will be able to track data in order to inform teaching practice with the aim of tackling student language and comprehension needs, benefiting student learning. Lastly, students will greatly benefit by being able to use Nearpod and and Zoom simultaneously, as well as be able to use all the features Zoom offer in order to provide a more engaging and fruitful online class for students.
