My Project

Help me get a MacBook Air to help me continue with my learning and growth as an educator. Why do I need a MacBook to enhance my learning experience you might ask? I would like to have this resource to help me better advance learning and achievement for all of my students, native students, as well as newcomers.

The MacBook offers many enhancing features for creating, designing, and sharing work with other Apple devices.

I would love to be able to use this type of technology to help me demonstrate my potential when it comes to designing, creating, and developing work in my graduate level courses. As I pursue my Master’s Degree, I will use the MacBook to complete course work, store documents related to my course work, and be able to share and communicate assignments directly with other Mac users in my program. Through this communication and professional development, I will be able to apply the knowledge gain to strengthen my teaching skills and enhance the learning of all my students including newcomers. By supporting this project, you can help me advance in my teaching career by learning with advanced technology to help reach all learners.
