Laptops for Every Student!

My students need 2 HP laptop computers in order to prepare them for the future.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

A laptop for every student? “No way” you might be thinking. I am hoping that the phrase “if there is a will, there is a way” will ring true in this case! I am a determined, dedicated, and driven educator who will do what it takes to make it so each of my 30 students has daily access to a laptop computer. In this ever-increasing technological world, it is essential that students know how to use computers. The daily use of the laptops will help prepare my students for middle school, high school and for many, college. In order to make this goal a reality, I am planning to work fund 2 Hewlett Packard notebook computers at time, until I reach 30! A lofty goal yes, too lofty, no! Getting students hooked and engaged in school is a battle that every classroom teacher faces. Based on past experiences, I know that technology is one tool that always gets students engaged in learning. This is one of the reasons that I am working hard to fund 30 HP notebook computers, 2 at a time, for my students daily use. They will be taught how to use the laptops to conduct Internet research, use educational websites, and create written documents and multimedia presentations. Using the computers for these tasks will save student time, while increasing productivity and learning. Thank you for your consideration and desire to make a difference in the lives of students! Through the generosity of people like you, eventually, all of my deserving students will have the opportunity to have daily access to HP laptop computers. By investing in these students, you are investing in the future of America!
