My Project

More than 98% of my students receive government assistance. Some students only have internet access at school. I afford students the opportunity to use technology in my class before school and during lunch. I even remain in my class after school, so students can be provided with any assistance needed.

My goal is to use the MacBook to create a wireless lab to issue textbook codes and hotspots for students across our campus.

Students can complete tasks on desktop computers, but access to desktop computers is limited. Until laptops are issued to students, I will use the MacBook to project assignments. I can freeze the screen of the smartboard and give students immediate class and/or individual feedback.
