Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

The MacBook will provide an engaging and meaningful curriculum for our students.

With its advanced capabilities, the MacBook Air will open up a world of possibilities, seamlessly connecting to our SMART interactive board to create an immersive educational environment.

The MacBook will allow me to create many things, such as Google Docs, Google Slides, and PDFs for our students to facilitate their learning process.

The MacBook will also provide students with technology-enhanced learning to accommodate several types of pedagogical approaches shown to increase student engagement, knowledge, and a desire to learn.

In music class, we use technology when we break into groups to research Music Around the World, famous musicians, and to use our online curriculum Music play Online.
