  • Connecting With Technology

    Funded Sep 21, 2016

    Thank you for your generous contribution to our Donors Choose Project Connecting With Technology. My classroom received the document camera with the help of your donation. We are eager learners and the document camera will help us to better understand and see teacher demonstrations. The document camera will become an integral part of teaching. It will be used to show the different tools the teacher is using in his demonstrations. Because of this donation, I can focus on other areas of technology integration in the school. Once again I would like to thank you for the donation and support for my classroom”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. G.

    This classroom project was brought to life by the estate of Dorothea Lutz and 3 other donors.
  • Printer Supplies Needed

    Funded Dec 28, 2015

    I can't fully express my joy, excitement, and thanks for your donation to my project. It is great to see that you share my vision for reaching children. The materials will allow me to teach concepts to students that I might not otherwise be able to.

    The tools that you have funded will enable students to create using state of the art materials. The materials will allow students to learn how to make videos and film different events at the school to share with their parents and community.

    Thank you so much. I can't wait to introduce these tools to the children.”

    Funded Aug 4, 2014

    My project has been funded, and my students and I are all tremendously excited! With your support, we will be able to turn my class into a more engaging place, where the students will be able to get their hands on some of the latest technology, and I am confident that this will increase interest, and thus understanding.

    This funding has come right on time. Looking ahead at my lessons for the coming months, I will be able to use all of these materials in an exciting and appropriate way to fuel student learning and achievement. One more time, thanks so much!”

  • Tech Lab Materials Needed

    Funded Dec 9, 2013

    I wanted to thank you again for your generosity. Students were very excited that they now have headphones to use in class for a variety of reasons.

    One of the challenges that I face in class is student attendance. Often times students are not in, and the class could be covering something new. That would force me to repeat directions over and over and over again. To help combat this I create videos that cover material in class or directions for a specific part of a project. Students are able to view these directions as many times as they need.

    This also helps to differentiate instruction because students are now able to work at their own pace, now that we have headphones we are now able to expand upon this teaching practice. If students have computer and Internet access at home they can review the lessons and materials at home as well.

    Thank you again for your donations.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. G.
