Laptops for Critically Ill Elementary Students

My critically ill elementary students need 2 laptops.

Valhalla, NY Grades 3-5

I am the technology director for our school which is in a children's rehabilitation center. The children that we service require rehabilitation and special educational services. All of these children have faced severe medical trauma

At the present time my district is undergoing severe financial constraints. Currently the 6 elementary classes have no laptops for the students to use. I am hoping to give these students a chance at their education through the use of these low budget laptops. For many of our students it is much easier for one to type than to write, particularly when one is lying in a stretcher.

We desperately need these 2 Levano laptops so that these students will be able to write their assignments independently in school. Hopefully they will also be able to use the Internet research and communicate with friends and family from their home school districts.

Please help these critically ill students become students of the 21st century. Even if they are sick they still have a right to the best education we can provide them

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
