By providing my students with their own, personal laptops they will be ready for in-person or remote classes. Eighty-five percent of my students do not have personal computers at home and had great difficulty staying up to date with work during remote learning. I want to tackle this issue head-on by supplying each student with a personal laptop for the school year which they can bring back and forth to school, if they choose to learn in person. Being stressed about not being able to access Google Classroom, or any other learning platform at home, is not something any child should ever have to worry about. Please help me help my students!
