My Project

As a teacher who absolutely loves to enhance the learning for my students through the use of 21st century skills in technology, I could really use an iMac that ensures my students get the resources they need to create the most amazing artwork. As a former Graphic Artist, I've been working on an iMac computer using the programs Illustrator, Photoshop and Indesign for over 35 years! As a teacher, I use these programs on a daily basis to create lessons and resources for my students as well as develop my own computer skills as professional development. I truly couldn't imagine teaching without the use of these programs! Unfortunately, my current computer at school is old and no longer able to support the latest software in the Creative Cloud.

Donations to an iMac Desktop computer would provide endless learning possibilities for growth in my art room.

My students are currently creating posters for the community and logos for Science projects and the use of an iMac would strongly support lessons such as these. It would also help me to help my younger students learn how to draw as I create resources that support my visual learners. Students love to see and learn all that an iMac can do!
