My Project

The screen on my current device is broken. I paid to fix it once, but I am not able to replace it a second time. I'm looking to replace the device so I don't have to use a second screen to teach. Macs are truly superior over other devices when it comes to virtual instruction where I am often streaming or working activities for 20+ scholars. All good devices lose functionality when broken though.

RVA Owl's are energetic, curious, and truly have a thirst for knowledge.

However, like all students, they will disengage quickly when there is a gap or lag in instruction- which happens too often when my screen doesn't share properly across the extra monitor.

I know a new device will fix the few issues we had last year and we would be truly grateful to resume the seamless instruction they are accustomed to having.
