Thirsty for Technology
Funded Sep 27, 2017Thank you very much for making a great difference in our classroom. Your benevolence has sparked fun and excitement to learning. Students were overjoyed when the tablets were revealed. The sparkle in the eyes was a priceless moment.
One of the major benefits of the tablets will be to have several technology workstations in our classroom. At the workstations students work independently and at their own pace. This allow a student to close the gap of a skill they may not have mastered earlier and to continue to work on it for mastery.
You have no idea the impact this will make on current and future students. Thank you for supporting education.”

Starving for Technology
Funded Sep 22, 2017Thank you for making a gigantic difference in our classroom. Some of the students have never worked on tablets before so the unveiling of the tablets was a priceless moment seeing the sparkle in their eyes. Students were super excited and displayed their emotions by screaming and clapping with excitement.
One thing students enjoy most is being able to complete a book assignment (paper and pencil) and then get to work on the tablets to further enhance their learning. Students are able to get on sites such as multiplication.com and compete with other students around the world on different math skills. The tablets will allow the students to work with partners and even compete with classmates.
You have no idea how your benevolence has made a difference in our classroom. Thank you for supporting education with technology. My students now and in the future will greatly benefit from you generosity.”

Reaching for the Stars Through the Eyes of Technology
Funded Jan 30, 2017THANKS A MILLION!!!!! Please accept my sincere heartfelt thanks for you generosity in contributing to our project. My students and I are obliged that you decided to assist us. This will allow us to compete and be 21st century learners.
Students will be able to use this device daily for many uses. Some of the many ways students will use it are workstations, multiplication facts, science activities, research and looking up unfamiliar words or information. This will be a great added asset to enhance our classroom.
Again we are extremely overjoyed with excitement to have this added technology in our classroom.”

Itching For Technology
Funded Dec 28, 2015THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!!! I really appreciate your foundations assisting my students with technology in our classroom. The students are so excited about using "Speck", the name given to the IPAD and purple case by the students.
It is the most exciting and rewarding to see the student use 'Speck' to research the definition of a word and have a debate about whose right and whose wrong. Normally, they would just sit and argue but the technology has motivated the students to learn and justify their reasoning. Also, when they complete their class assignments they can work on educational activities such as multiplication.com, Istation, Math Magician, Spelling City, and IXL to name a few of the programs.
Since most of the students don't have technology at home, their scores have increased and they are completing their assignments in class. Their motivation is through the roof!!”
