Teaching a class of Kindergartners with out a working computer, while depending on web based programs, is challenging to say the least. My students deserve my time planning, instructing, and responding to their unique needs, rather than waiting for the computer to load. I have turned in my current laptop, that I have used for the past five years, a number of times for repair. This computer will enable me to instruct using my smart board and other programs that engage student in developing their skills to meet the rigorous Common Core standards. I know my students deserve better than to sit and wait. Please help me get the most out of my students by using technology that actually works!
