My Students

I teach applied technology to K-8th grade high-need, low-income students in a large urban public school district in New Jersey. Our students are primarily Hispanic and include a high number of special education students. More than 85% of our students receive free or reduced lunch.

Our students participate in a school-wide newspaper publication for which they conduct interviews, write articles, create charts and graphs, and take photographs to complete.

The biggest struggle for them is access to all information in one place and ability to use layout software on one computer. We had an awesome MAC computer that recently just stopped working and won't turn on. As a result of loosing the only MAC computer we had in the school, we can no longer produce our school newsletter like we used to. We also can not complete our 8th grade graduation videos or other design applications like brochures and sideshows like we did in the past.

My Project

As a result, the students would benefit greatly from having an Apple laptop to replace our "dead" MAC. It would be used in the creation of our school newsletter and other multimedia projects throughout the years. This would help our students to be more successful in design and layout, and will give them real-life experiences.

Your help will ensure that my students will feel successful and be prepared for the world of technology that they will undoubtedly encounter as they move forward in education and in life.
