My Project
Although my district provides a standard laptop, it comes with limited access and restrictions that make it difficult to fully meet the instructional and planning needs of my classroom. I often run into roadblocks when trying to access certain programs, update resources, or use educational tools that would enrich student learning. These challenges slow down productivity and limit my ability to deliver the high-quality, tech-integrated instruction my students deserve.
The MacBook Air I’m requesting will allow me to efficiently plan lessons, create engaging digital content, and access a full range of educational tools without the limitations I currently face.
I will use this device daily to design interactive lessons, run small group rotations, track student progress, and participate in virtual professional development opportunities that will directly improve my teaching practices.
Most importantly, this laptop will help me create a more dynamic and equitable learning environment. Whether it’s modeling how to navigate digital platforms, using multimedia to bring lessons to life, or supporting students with personalized learning tools, this MacBook Air will empower me to better serve every student in my classroom.
