My Project

Our classroom is in desperate need of an updated computer for learning. We currently are using an outdated desktop computer.

A new Mac Mini, will allow for speedy access to current applications necessary for student learning and engagement.

Unfortunately, the desktop computer we are using, many of the apps needed to use will not load because the computer software is too old to update. In this day and age, technology is essential in supporting lessons for my students. A new Mac Mini would help get my classroom up to date, support my lessons, and keep students interested.
