Funded Sep 29, 2022Thanks to your generosity, a key piece of my job, technology, is no longer a pain to use when preparing for and teaching class. Before your donated computer arrived, it was a challenge to find enough space and processing power to prepare asynchronous videos, edit photos, and still have the computer ready to broadcast my lessons on the big board at the front of the classroom.
In the photos I sent, I am showing you just a few of the ways this powerful machine helps me be a better teacher. Students can be seen watching and rewatching videos about how to graph data from their experiments. Prior to being able to process all of these videos, I would have to teach each of the different lessons separately, and then I'd be playing a game of whack-a-mole, trying to get to everyone in the class as they get started on their work. Being able to record and edit high quality videos allows many of these things to happen simultaneously and lets students choose how they work and learn.
Some of these other photos show how this computer allowed me to do neuroscience experiments with the students in combination with another generous donation from Donorschoose. More than I can ever remember, my computer is the number one tool I need to prepare and teach. Your generosity has given me the latest tech, and a new lease on harnessing technology for years to come. From both my students and I, thank you.”
With gratitude,
Mr. Wolf
