  • Improving Academic Performance Through Gaming

    Funded Mar 13, 2025

    Words cannot express my gratitude towards your generosity and kindness. Through your generous contribution, my students will enjoy coming to school. I am looking to improve attendance, participation, behavior, and overall academic performance. The goal of the project is to improve focus and engagement in the classroom. If students are engaged and focused, they are most likely to learn and retain information.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Gonzales

  • Boosting Engagement and Academic Performance through Gaming

    Funded Oct 14, 2024

    Your generous contribution and donation has made an improvement and impact on academic performance. First, students are more excited to attend school because they look forward to gaming. For the first semester of this current school year, I have used gaming to boost engagement and help with behavioral issues. For the most part, both behavior and academic performance have improved because students are more engaged and focused to learn.

    Using gaming as a positive reinforcer and incentive gets students more engaged and excited. The engagement and excitement is correlated with academic performance because students want to finish assignments and projects. The reward is significant to the students. They enjoy playing video games with their classmates and their teachers. They enjoy a little fun after challenging work.”

  • Boosting Engagement and Learning Through Gaming

    Funded Feb 16, 2024

    My students are using the new resources in various ways. The students use the Nintendo Switch as an incentive for completed work and appropriate behavior. The student are only rewarded for positive and desired behavior. If a student misbehaves or does not complete work as a quality producer, the student is ineligible to play on the Nintendo Switch.

    Upon first seeing the Nintendo Switch, most of the students were excited and curious. We have used all the materials and technology that was funded and donated. The materials collectively helped improve classroom engagement and behavior. If engagement, focus and behavior improve; learning must be taking place.”

  • Materials to Help Improve Engagement and Learning

    Funded Nov 19, 2023

    My students and I are using the new resources in various ways. The students use the whiteboard magnets to do money math (real world) math problems on the board. The other magnet manipulatives are used to help with understanding of basic fractions, numbers (place value), and various geometric shapes and figures. In addition, the board games are fun and educational. The board games encompass addition and subtraction, sight words, and sentence building.

    Upon first seeing the new games and magnets, the students were excited and curious. We have used all the materials funded and donated. The materials have helped improve and alleviate challenges in reading, writing and math. The next steps is to perpetuate engagement and participation though using positive reinforcement rewards through gaming (Nintendo Switch). I strongly believe that students will look forward to attending school, participating and completing quality work through positive reinforcement and the incentive of gaming.”
