My Project

As a new middle school and the only public middle school in our neighborhood, we are growing, and growing fast. As we enter our second year, our incoming 6th grade class will more than triple the size of our school. Along with more students comes a need for more resources. Among the most difficult and expensive to source is computers, which today are a key element of the 21st century classroom.

These computers, in addition to a few that I already have on hand, will provide a class set of devices for my students.

My 6th/7th grade students will use these 20 computers daily to access project-based and personalized learning assignments.
