Our class needs a new laptop to help us make the most of our smart board. Our old laptop is on its last legs and needs to be plugged in at all times. It sometimes just shuts down because it overheats. A new laptop would use less energy.
We are using more paper to make charts because our laptop is so unreliable.
We have been learning about conservation and they feel bad using all the paper. My students love the interactive features the smart-board offers. I would love for my students to have a reliable laptop so we can make the most of our lessons and smart-board as well as conserve energy and paper!
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
