Ms. Detraz from Abbeville LA is requesting technology through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

A is for Apple, B is for Ball, C is for Computer!

My students need a new computer to replace one that will crash soon. We also need a document camera for lessons and daily activities.

My Students

Obviously, we live in a technology driven world filled with devices and computers. Computers are powerful tools for a classroom. My students use ours daily. Of course with technology, aging computers pose problems. We really need a computer to replace an old one. We could also use a document camera.

Our Pre K-5th grade school is one of the feeder schools in town.

We have over 500 wonderful students here! I am a Pre K teacher who has taught other grade levels in the past. Though it is not easy, our school is one that works hard to bring technology to our students. Our students truly love and embrace technology resources we have.

My Project

Without a doubt, we live in a world filled with technology unlike ever before. At times though, it is difficult for schools to receive additional funding for extra resources. I offer technology lessons to my Pre K students daily. At this time, I have two computers, both of which are giving trouble. That is the reason I would love a new computer. My students do work in computer centers daily with technology online sites. A new computer would help alleviate the problems we are experiencing with daily glitches and break downs.

As teachers, we know how powerful computers are in classrooms.

Our class could use a new student computer, as well as a document camera. Would you please help my Pre K students receive those? Your help would be appreciated!
