My students and I have been doing distance learning since March. It has been a challenge for both of us. I have been using an old computer to teach my students remotely. I teach math, science, and social studies which are subjects that utilize many online programs. I realized that my current computer has been slowing me down. Many of the online programs need a faster running memory, especially Zoom. I found that my computer would have a bad connection so during our class sessions during Zoom, we would either disconnect or my students could not hear me. During my Zoom sessions, I am able to teach the math and science concepts so my students can understand the content. Because of the poor connection of my current computer, my teaching was less effective and efficient. I need a very good laptop to teach math, science, and social studies online, assign online lessons to my students, check their digital assignments, and communicate with my students effectively on a daily basis. Now, we started summer school for those students that regressed during distance learning or did not pass the subject for the school year. I will need a better laptop during summer school and the upcoming school year so that I can be more effective as a teacher. Please help fund my project so that I can teach my students with a more powerful computer.
