Faster Laptop for Special Ed. Remote Learning
Funded Dec 1, 2020
I am very sorry it has taken me so long to update you on the incredible impact of your donations, but the new computer has been up and running for around two months now and been an absolute life-saver!
I told my students about your generosity, which amazed them. All of my students immediately knew when I had gotten the new computer, because I stopped lagging so much and crashing out of Zoom. Their experience in class has become so much more seamless with my faster device. It is a tremendous weight off of my own shoulders to make it through a full day of teaching on the computer without waiting in fear for the next time my computer might crash during a lesson.
As remote learning continues, I am feeling so lucky to not be concerned about having functional technology. Every one of us is experiencing countless challenges during this difficult time, but I am incredibly grateful that you have helped me eliminate one from my students' and my plate.”
With gratitude,
Ms. Wittrock
This classroom project was brought to life by FamilyAlbum and 5 other donors.

A new MacBook will help ensure my virtual classes run much more smoothly. My current laptop does not have enough memory to run Zoom without crashing. I am getting kicked out of Zoom at least 4-6 times per class, which stops the flow and progress of our instruction and discussions. I lag constantly for my students, which is especially difficult for my students with disabilities and my English Language Learners who need fluid instruction and reiteration of ideas to successfully develop their thinking. These technology issues and disruptions are impeding their learning. I am committed to ensuring that my historically marginalized students get the highest-quality education possible, even while we are remote. A faster laptop will allow us to have seamless live classes. A new MacBook will allow me to run multiple windows at once so I can give my students more instantaneous feedback on their digital work. I will also be able to share my screen more successfully during class, which will give my students more opportunities for individualized differentiation to target their specific learning needs. Your donation would be transformative for me and my students. We are so grateful for you!
