My Project

As an Early childhood education teacher a laptop is a necessary tool for many reasons including delivery of instruction and to be able to provide visual support during lessons. As we do not have a smart board in our classroom, a laptop would be a helpful tool in our classroom to provide necessary support to my young learners. I would be able to access technology for my diverse learners through videos, google slides, and through different learning websites that are engaging.

A laptop would also help to differentiate instruction for all my different learners based on their learning goals.

They will be able to play games, and listen to read aloud which will support them as early literacy learners.

This laptop will truly help me communicate more effectively with the families I serve as well. I would be able to share visuals, videos and photographs from our classroom so that families can better help their children.

Please help me reach my goal!
