My Students

"My iPad isn't working!" Please help us update our technology! My desktop computer is about 10 years old and cannot support iPads. Please help us buy a new Macbook to sync and update our new iPads so they are always working!

My students come from a wide variety of backgrounds, and the library is the place that equalizes them.

We have students from around the block and around the world. We have students that are learning English and that are learning other languages. Give to a school that has many cultures, diversity, and adversity!

My Project

With this Macbook, I will be able to update our iPads all at once, rather than one at a time. Our students will have iPads that are updated regularly rather than once a semester. Our students will learn new things and be able to use updated apps! Our instructional time will not be wasted waiting for apps or software updates! Give our students technology that they can use in meaningful ways! I will also be able to use the Macbook's capabilities to make new media and other items for our students!

This new iPad will be used in the library and will improve our library and our school.

Each student uses an iPad in some way during the school week, and this will improve all of their learning for the better! This will improve their tech savvy moving from digital natives to digital literates!
