Funded Aug 12, 2023My students absolutely love having access to such devices as the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8, in which Donors Choose helped me acquire. Technology has helped some many students deal with multiple issues due to COVID-19. Just the ability to be silly and open up with current classmates and new classmates while using this device has greatly impacted their emotional well being.
Young people may use technology and screens to avoid complex or negative emotions, which have been in abundance during the COVID-19 pandemic. Experts agree that emotion regulation is a critical component of mental health and that interfering with its development during childhood and adolescence can lead to issues such as anxiety and depression. Allowing children to collaborate with others on such devices can uplift their participation in the classroom and help lower their social anxiety.
Once again, we are greatly appreciative of the generosity Donors Choose has facilitated.”
With gratitude,
Mr. Bush
