We use technology on a daily basis. There is a shortage of available devices due to the schools sending them home for students to be able to learn and complete their assignments. The MacBook Air would help make it possible for me to share my lessons to the smartboard so that my class can have the best possible learning experience. The MacBook will allow me to use and create Google Docs, presentations, PDF documents, Zoom, and so much more for my students to facilitate their learning process.
The device I currently have is extremely slow and quickly running out of memory and storage.
I strongly rely on this device not only to project lessons onto the smartboard, but also plan all of my lessons.
My computer freezes and sometimes needs to be restarted which is not convenient in the sense of time. This MacBook Air will be life-changing, and make my lessons even more fun and interesting. This Macbook Air would be very much appreciated and taken care of for many years to come.
