My Project

I am a teacher and I teach through technology. The majority of my math and reading lessons are PowerPoints. Some days, my computer does not connect to my TV since it is an outdated computer, and I have to search each day to connect it by bluetooth. When I am not able to connect, this affects my students' learning and the progress they make during that day's lesson. With a new laptop, my students will be able to have consistency in the use of technology and seeing their lessons on the big screen! I also lesson plan through my computer because my curriculum is digital. Therefore, I need access to the websites. My current computer has access, but I struggle to keep a charge due to how old it is. I am wanting something more updated that will help me grow professionally and just be able to do all the things I need to do as a teacher through technology without having problems with my laptop. The laptop would be a great blessing to my students and myself. Thank you!
