Antiquated But Hoping

My students need a new computer system with lots of storage space and versatility. They need to be able to use in anywhere in the school.

My Students

Dinosaurs are extinct but one is still in my room. It lives and breathes sometimes. It is our old original desktop computer. We use it often but it is dying off slowly. It has limited memory and works only occasionally.

I teach at an extremely poor school in the center of a large urban area.

My students all receive free breakfast and lunch. They come to school with limited supplies if any. They do not have Internet services available at their homes. They like to use our computer to find interesting and new things as well as make stories and print them. They are many African -American and many have learning problems as well as health problems. They come to school with many strikes against them but want to learn and each tries in different ways.

My Project

With a new laptop computer and wireless router they could access the Internet and go to new websites to increase their knowledge or field of study. They would be able to store their pictures and stories and share them on parent night. They would be able to read and record stories off the Internet and print more activities in the classroom. I would be able to help them learn to use technology and perhaps make an important change in their futures. I would be able to create more materials to use in the classroom if I could take the computer home and make activities there to transport to school. It can be hooked up to our Promethean board to help us access flipcharts and PowerPoints from other sources.

My students are young and have their whole future ahead of them.

If we can give them tools to help them become technologically knowledgeable, we need to take the first steps. These students need to be exposed to technology and learn to use it. They are still eager to learn and inquisitive. They can learn and will. But we need to help them learn about and experience the wonders of modern technology. You can help us meet our needs. Thank you.
