My Project

My students are amazing and hard workers. They are very eager to learn, but face many challenges in their everyday life. All of my students deal with the struggles of poverty. Even with their many daily challenges, they are resilient. My students use technology daily in everything that they do. As a teacher, I need to ensure that my technology is up-to-date and working efficiently and effectively.

This MacBook will allow me to be more versatile in the classroom as a facilitator of learning, providing me with the tools needed to create, assign, and grade engaging activities.

Keeping my students engaged in learning, while also keeping grades up-to-date is very important in education. This MacBook will allow for me to be adequate in preparing lessons, while also allowing me to be mobile and not tied down to my desk.
