A SMARTer Use Of Technology

My students need a Hewlett-Packard laptop so that the technology in our classroom will run more effectively and efficiently.

Help quench our thirst for knowledge through technology! I am a third grade teacher in a classroom of 21 educationally eager learners. Our school is in need of highly-efficient and reliable computers.

We currently have a projector and document camera in our classroom and are working our way towards an interactive whiteboard (with parent help). We currently have three computers in our classroom that range in age from four to eight years old. They do not have the operating memory necessary to run our technology effectively or efficiently.

We'd like a Hewlett Packard (because our district supports it) laptop (so our teacher can take it home and find cool stuff for us to do!) so that we can learn the way we love, and love the way we learn! With a quicker, more reliable HP laptop, we will be able to explore endlessly the Internet to challenge and empower us to reach our personal best!

Your help will ensure that all students have universal access to a technology-based curriculum that engages, motivates, and inspires.
