My students need five laptops. We are hoping to build a classroom set of computers where all students can access technology simultaneously. This is the first year that our school is providing the students with a technology class. Currently, students are in a lab with outdated computers in an open area that cannot be secured in case of an emergency. We need a computer lab in a classroom where we can use technology in a safe and secure environment where an entire class can work together. Due to lack of technology and large class sizes, it is difficult for students to have access to computers and technology. To streamline the students' learning we want to provide them with consistent and up to date technology where all students can learn and access material at the same time. This computer lab will prepare our students for the 21st century. It is essential that these students become avid computers users to become successful in the future.
