My Project

The Corona virus has changed the way we do things. Even though we are back to all in person education so much of our materials are now on an internet based learning platform. This is more in line with the way work is done in the 21st century and it creates flexibility for students who have sports or theater practices, or Covid quarantines happening in their family. Since we are on devices more students have more device issues. A computer may have a problem or batteries run down. Having available devices ready to go are necessary for students to keep pace with what is happening. That is why I am requesting this tablet for our classroom.
