My Project

Please help update our technology in the classroom. The computer we use for displaying our daily lessons is over 10 years old and tends to time out or run slowly. Sometimes it will stop in the middle of a lesson or not run a program we need at all.

In these days and times, updated technology is a must-have to keep the students on track and competitive with non-equity-focused schools.

Having this updated computer to present our latest digital curriculum pieces will be such an amazing opportunity to access all of the current features.

My goal is to provide seamless lessons and digital access to all of the students in my classroom.
