Teaching Remotely and Creating Better Materials With Better Technology!

Funded Dec 2, 2020

Thank you so much for your help with getting my new computer, stand, and charger! I cannot even begin to express how wonderful it has been to have this device for the 2021 school year. The screen is so much larger than my Chromebook, and the ability to write on it as a whiteboard, has been extremely beneficial. My students have been able to easily see me complete math problems by writing on Google Slides, Docs, and PDFs. I am also so grateful to have been able to Zoom with students in a breakout room and share a whiteboard that I can write on with a stylus. The large screen has enabled me to have multiple applications up at the same time while grading, creating lesson plans, and Zooming with parents or colleagues.

During the 2021 school year my district changed from fully remote, to hybrid, to full in-person, but students were always able to attend class from home via Zoom. The large screen enabled me to be able to see my students remotely, and the microphone and camera are of such good quality that I was able to talk to students on the computer from across the room. I was also able to use this device while teaching a fully remote math summer credit recovery program!

I am so glad that I will be able to continue to utilize this device during the upcoming school year. My past and future students and I greatly appreciated your support with the funding of this project! I really can't thank you enough!”

With gratitude,

Ms. Her
