Education in the 2020-2021 school year is more crucial & challenging than ever. At a drop of a hat, students and teachers adapted to a hybrid learning environment. At first, our classroom seemed upside down. Now, with the help of technology our community can connect, bond, and grow. A new laptop will help bridge the gap between students in person and students at home. My students and I will benefit from a new laptop that is compatible with our new learning environment. Zoom, Google Meet, breakout rooms, and recorded lessons are apart of our daily routine. While learning from home, students need to see me and have access to their teacher and material in the moment of their learning. Our current tool of use, an outdated laptop, leaves us all frustrated. The camera quality is poor and the sound is constantly lagging. This makes daily lessons extremely difficult. Due to the pandemic, education and our classroom setting has completely changed. What hasn’t changed is the need for interaction, face to face communication, collaboration, and strong relationships. A new laptop will allow for all of this, and change our classroom and daily lessons for the better. My middle school students and I thank you deeply!
