Infusing Technology Into Our School Music Program

My students need a LCD projector.

Mr. S. Montgomery Knolls Elementary School
Silver Spring, MD Grades PreK-2

I am the music teacher in a high-need, highly impacted by poverty primary school (Grades Pre-K through 2nd).

Students need to have technology integrated into every area of the curriculum, including music. Research shows how students blossom under this kind of teaching and the opportunities with technology to enhance creativity, particularly in music, are boundless.

My students need a LCD projector so that I can begin using the software I already have on my laptop. I have been highly trained in using this software as I have recently become certified in TIME (technology institute for music education) after 6 summers of graduate courses.

Your donation will make it possible for my students to have a start at learning and creating music with today's technology. The only thing holding us back is a projector since I already have the computer, the software, and the knowledge to implement this program.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
