My Students

Even the playing field! My business and marketing classes participate in state-wide marketing competitions. They need a tablet to compete with the more well-funded high school business programs they compete against yearly. Having the tablet will allow them to easily present various projects.

My students are mostly from economically challenged living situations.

Our school is located in a mostly low income area. A very large percentage of our students live at or below the poverty line. Access to new technology at home is very rare for the majority of our students.

My Project

By accessing their mostly all computerized assignments via the tablet, they will be able to efficiently present their projects in an impressive manner. This device will allow them to access and present on the go at the many competitions in which we participate.

This piece of technology will not be funded through our school's extremely tight budget.

Times are tough in education, and this is our only chance to take an important technological step.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
