My Students

The students in my ICT class range drastically in skills. Each student has their own abilities and challenges. Although students are at different academic levels, this does not change how special each student is. Their goal is always the same, and that is to be the best that they can be and reach for the stars.

Our school is a Title 1 school in New York City that serves a very diverse population of students, many of whom do not have access to technology at home.

My Project

My learning disabled, and ADHD students will be provided with materials to reach each and every one of them at their own levels. By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement. Your generous donation to our project will improve our classroom by building stronger readers and writers.

The MacBook will help motivate students to learn reading and math a fun and memorable way.

Technology works like magic in a classroom. It engages and motivates students to do their best while it helps strengthen the connections that they make with the curriculum.
