A Little Technology Goes A Long Way!

My students need a Microsoft Surface with the Keyboard cover since the two computers that we have in the classroom are so obsolete (over 11 years old) they don't work.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

In a language class, visuals and sounds are essential to stimulate the Multiple Intelligences. My students are bright and would love to explore many educational venues using a computer station. This Microsoft Surface would serve as our computer station.

My students are mostly on free and reduced lunch.

This means that they are in a Title I school surrounded by a very needy and transient population. This tool will be instrumental in providing a window to the world of language, science, and mathematics. It will be a research tool for my students to succeed and to compete in this global village. Since I teach multiple grades, this donation will have a tremendous impact due to vast number students that I teach daily.

My Project

My students will gain access to more than a dozen websites and applications that require a computer. Through the use of the Microsoft Surface and Keyboard Cover, my students will have a computer station available to them. This computer station will enhance and enrich their education while differentiating instruction, thus optimizing their learning experience in programs such as Brainpop, Tumblebooks, AR Reading, etc.

This project will help give my students a chance to succeed in a very competitive world.

Your donation will give my students the opportunity to experience educational technology and not be left behind in the 21st Century.
