An Apple for Our Eye!

Help me give my students the best quality computer- based education during our distance learning. Our new computer will give our students the best quality outside these 4 walls of our classroom and transition between different computer platforms.

My Students

Our students are currently working as distance learners. It is unfortunate that I don't get to work face to face with these energetic, creative, and passionate students that love school. Our school is a Title I school which indicates our large population come from low income families. Living on a small island makes it very difficult getting resources here on time and due to Covid, the wait time is even longer.

My Project

A new computer will provide quality lessons, resources, and connectivity in this 21st century way of learning. When using technology, we have to keep in mind that students can easily get frustrated and lose focus when either your microphone isn't working or your camera keeps blinking.

Our students deserve the best quality online experience we can offer them with little to no interruption.

We are all learning and willing to buy whatever it takes to make this experience successful.

The new computer will make transition and navigation to different computer platforms successful. If we can provide this for our students, then we can make the situation less difficult and more engaging.
