With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility

Funded Nov 11, 2021

I can't thank you enough for the gift of the technology cart for my scholars!

Previously our class had to maintain 20 Chromebooks in a small space with minimal outlets. We were using surge protectors that we could plug them into, but it left 6-8 computers waiting to charge at a time. I would need to rush in the morning, plugging in all the computers that didn't get charged the previous night. The chargers were always messy and tangled, and I would need to untangle the cords so often so the chargers would reach the Chromebooks.

Now, the students take pride in storing their computer in the charging cart. They love having the "technology manager" job to carefully plug in the computers. It is easy to find and access their computer. I no longer have to worry about untangling cords every week for safety and ease of finding chargers. I can also use that table as a tech spot for students to sit during quiz games, or if their power has run low.

One of my most frustrating areas of the room is now one of our favorites! Our room is small, and these organization pieces help keep it tidy and calm.

Thank you for this gift! We appreciate it so much and for the way it has taught us to be good custodians of our materials.”

With gratitude,
