  • Microsoft Surface Pro Tools!

    Funded Sep 4, 2022

    I am overwhelmed by your generosity and appreciate your donation more than I can put into words. Making sure my students have everything they need to be successful is my number one priority and your donation helps me do just that. Now we will have the technology we so desperately need to make exciting lessons happen!

    The community that I teach in is made up of students who are eager to learn and love to use technology. They enjoy interacting with lessons that engage them through the newest educational online platforms. This project was especially important to me because as the Digital Literacy and Computer Science teacher, the laptop computer that I was using on a daily basis was starting to become old and antiquated. It was becoming difficult to use that computer as it was an older model. It was time to upgrade. The Microsoft Surface along with the keyboard case, mouse, and multiport adapter allow me to effectively plan my lessons, assign the coursework via the online learning platform as well as assist students with their work as needed in the classroom.

    The day the project was funded I was thrilled. I couldn't believe it. The day the Surface arrived and the keyboard case, mouse, and multiport adapter a few days later was an amazing feeling. I knew I would now be equipped with a modern, technological machine that would help me service my students. As the Digital Literacy and Computer Science teacher, one of the areas that the students learn about is computer coding. We use various online, learning platforms including CodeMonkey. Using the Surface, I was able to upload 20 class rosters, as well as assign daily coursework, review student work and check student progress.

    However, the most important aspect is assisting students with the coding assignments in class as they work. The Surface is a 2-in-1 machine, meaning it can function as a traditional laptop OR a tablet computer. Using the Surface in tablet mode is very convenient and helpful when I am assisting students at their PC workstations (see pictures), as I am able to easily bring the Surface with me to show them the exemplar. The tablet mode makes the Surface very compact and the kickstand on the back helps to display the exemplars on the screen making it easily viewable for the students and myself. Consequently, the mouse helps me navigate a bit easier and multiport adapter allows me to connect to the projector.

    Thank you so much for your donations and support. It means so much that you chose my technology project. I always get emotional when I think about the kindness of the donors on DonorsChoose.org, especially since you are willing to donate your hard-earned money to help children and teachers in need. That is such a kind and caring thing to do. Thank you so much for supporting public school children!”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Debrocke
