Assistive Technology: Making Curriculum Accessible for All Learners!
My students need 3 Lenovo Chromebooks and 3 headsets for multiple uses. These computers will be utilized throughout the day to support many learners. We will use them for research, enrichment, assistive technology, and for reteaching.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. H.'s classroom raised $467

My Students
My amazing school is a Title 1 school located in Brooklyn, NY. My school is an outlier in our district. Unlike the other schools in the neighborhood our school budget is always tight. We frequently run out of supplies like copy paper, printer ink and pencils. Our parents aren't able to provide donations to the school PTA like many of the other schools in our district.
The majority of my students are first generation immigrants hailing from such locations as Bangladesh, Mexico, Ukraine, Yemen and China.
Our school is a cultural melting pot where over 15 different languages are spoken! Since we are a Title I school, most students receive free breakfast and lunch. Although we don't get many donations from our parents, our PTA has managed to offer fantastic after school clubs and art opportunities to our students, and they have figured out ways to extend our budget so that many students can participate in these programs free of charge.
My Project
My students need technology to help support and enrich their classroom learning. These computers will be accessible to all learners for many different aspects of the curriculum. Some of things we will use these computers for include: reading research, ELL web-based software, watch educational videos, word prediction programs to increase writing volume, and to enrich/support math concepts.
These materials will help provide my students with additional resources to help support their different learning styles.
Adding these computers to our classroom will provide more opportunities to engage all learners to help them best succeed in the classroom. The use of technology at home isn't something that all of my students have access to. Allowing them to use technology in the classroom will help prepare the students for the next grades.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
