Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

I'm a fourth grade teacher at a Title I school in Slidell, Louisiana. I love using technology in my classroom. Unfortunately my computer is quite huge and covers most of my desk. I am interested in updating with a laptop. It needs to have enough memory to support an active board. My school only had money to purchase a few presentation projectors, so new computers (especially laptops) aren't in the budget. I am constantly using the computer to present websites and PowerPoint presentations to my kids. My kids also participate in interactive websites with the active board, which is connected to the same computer. I have to stand up and manipulate the mouse and see the kids over the computer. A laptop in my classroom would be really wonderful. Thanks for considering my proposal.
