I have wonderfully bright and curious students. Sadly, though they live in a high poverty area. The students are motivated to learn, but need updated technology in order to best reach their full potential. The students are Apache and live in New Mexico. Their home in the mountains is beautiful, but several years ago the school burned down. The government assisted in building a new school, however, we are trying to help the technological resources of the school meet the needs of the rigorous demands of the Common Core State Standards.
