My Project

We are Inquiring to purchase a new MacBook laptop to assist in implementing more efficient accessible activities to assisting our students to succeed in their learning.

A laptop computer is a necessity that plays a huge role in helping our students succeed to the best of their abilities.

In today’s world, it is challenging to be without technology. Smart boards, iPad, and computers play a huge role in education. I work in a Special Education setting where my students face many challenges. Most of which are on the autism spectrum. It is imperative to keep data and assess our students on a daily basis. Being dedicated and remaining consistent by challenging students will stimulate and strengthen their minds.

Obtaining a MacBook will help me greatly toward creating a more efficient curriculum, provide me access to resources for implementing lessons, promote and improve organization skills, facilitate student assessments and data collection, and allow me to take notes more efficiently in less time. Only a strong education can lead our nation and city in the right direction with the proper tools.
