My Project

Technology is a daily occurrence in any classroom nowadays. With the inconsistencies in traditional educational settings caused by Covid-19, teachers have to think outside the box to reach a multitude of students. Classrooms have become both traditional and virtual settings for all students. By donating to my project, you will not only help to improve remote instruction, you will ultimately help to increase the students' academic achievement. Switching back and forth between the real world and the virtual world would be more efficient by using a new computer. Having a new computer will allow me to make appropriate lessons for the virtual world. Students will be able to access my lessons by using the computer as well. All of my students will benefit by having state-of-the art technology. In addition, students will be able to use the computer for important lessons in the classroom. Having multilingual students, it's important to be able to use various websites that help with vocabulary building, reading skills, and english language acquisition. Unfortunately, the computers provided aren't sufficient enough, which is why I'm looking for assistance.
