A Glitch in the Matrix!

My Project

Our current MacBook has been a trusty friend for the last 8 years. Unfortunately, our apps and programs have been updated but the computer can’t operate them.

I’m hoping a new laptop will not only solve these issues but also work faster!

Any help to bring our classroom laptop “up to speed” would be greatly appreciated. It’s been incredibly difficult to use on a daily basis. My third graders are learning new things every day and would love to have a new device that works as hard as they do!
