<p>I learned about DonorsChoose.org through a holiday gift from Google Ads making a starter donation for a project I could chose, rather than sending trinkets. Good for Google!</p> <p>Of the many great local projects, the one that hit me was a math teacher asking for a LCD projector to follow up on the great response from 4th grade students when she was able to borrow the only LCD projector in the school one day a week for a special end of year project.</p><p>This is in an urban school district with very tight budgets and almost 90% of the students receiving free lunch.</p><p> An LCD projector is the sort of tool that's cut when absolute necessities are hard to afford - but can make an enormous difference in engaging kids in learning. The teacher made a case that was heartfelt and compelling. I topped off the starter gift and felt great.</p> <p>Let's get some of this affordable tech gear in the hands of teachers who will value both the donation and vote of confidence.</p> <p>Projectors can help many kids over a period of years. Choose your own favorite and let there be light!</p> hide
