Help My Students Prepare for the 21st Century!

Funded Oct 19, 2009

Once again, thank you all so much for your generous contribution to my class in these difficult times. I had my laptop delivered three weeks ago, and have put it to immediate use. I use the computer on a daily basis for keeping my grade book, posting assignments on-line, and to present my lessons to my students.

Combined with a new district-wide web based program, my students also use the computer on a daily basis to check their grades and assignments for all of their courses. I have been able to use digital media in my class as well including sound and video clips, which help to bring concepts in History and Economics alive for my students.

Over the next few years, California schools will be slashing millions of dollars from our budgets. In addition to layoffs, bigger class sizes and fewer special programs, funding for materials such as computers will be drastically reduced as well.

Thanks to you my students still have access to the most up to date technologies in my classroom. Because of people like you, in these difficult financial times, my students are able to continue moving their education towards the future. Thank you so much for making a difference! ”

With gratitude,

Mr. Sultan
