I work at a character & knowledge charter school that is also Title I. Many of our students don’t have a computer or internet access at home. Our school library/computer lab is an essential resource for our students to complete the research projects that are part of the curriculum at our school. Students in grades 3-6, use our lab to complete projects on astronomy, history (presidents, native cultures) science fair, as well as book reports. I am personally responsible for teaching all 225 students in these grades the research skills that they will need to be successful in school. School projects are completed in our computer lab during library time and after school. At the end of our school year 2021, our Macintosh computers had all phased out (no updates available) and would be very expensive to replace. We budgeted to get new chrome books for our computer lab, but we didn’t get external mice. The ports on the chrome books are on the left hand side, and 99% of our students are right handed. We are using old Mac mice with short cords that the students try to stretch across to the right hand side of the computers. As you can imagine, it’s not going very well. On a daily basis, students ask me, “why did they put the ports on the left side of the computers?” I can only smile and say, “I wish they hadn’t.” The donations will help productivity by allowing my students to easily navigate on their computers, thereby making research more efficient. It will save the students a lot of time, and will go a long way to improving morale in the computer lab.
