My Project

I get to teach some great kids!! High school freshmen are an adventure. They come into high school not knowing what is expected or required of them even if they think that they do know. They come into high school needing to develop skills that will make them successful in high school.

A vitally important thing is to teach our students to use 21st century skills and technology and that means computers.

Some of them have gaming skills that adapt easily to the classroom. This means that they can build toward using computers to benefit themselves and others in the future. Many of my students cannot afford to have computers in their homes and are at a disadvantage to other students in the world. We need another computer so that we can create projects based on class research and display those things through the Promethean panel. This will allow students to use interactive programs and create products that meet our learning objectives in History and develop skills for living and working in the real world of today.

You can know that these special kids have another chance to be successful and encouraged in school.

You can know that these kids will be touched by the fact that someone cared enough to provide this equipment. Thank you!
