Support Interactive Learning in Worcester

My students need this interactive board to keep up with technologically advanced peers that have these boards at their disposal. My students are falling behind in technological growth and this board will allow them to succeed.

My Students

I have an inner city class that rotates between two teachers. The students often come to us from poverty, homelessness, and other countries as refugees. They have very little in terms of supplies and even less experience with technology.

I want to prepare my students for the 21st century and it is heavily reliant on technology.

My students want to succeed, but they need help. They need someone to invest in their future and give them the tools they need to compete with students in their generation who have these tools readily available.

My Project

The interactive whiteboard will be used in the math and science lessons. I will use this technology to engage students with fun and exciting lessons that the students can actually use and manipulate.

For example, we will be able to make an interactive map of the parts of plant and animal cells.

Normally we would read about them in the book and fill in a worksheet to connect the parts picture with their name. The worksheet will end up in the trash, while the concept map will remain in their brains for much longer.

Please support the future of Worcester.
