My Project
Our students are incredibly creative, curious, and motivated to learn, bringing diverse ideas and perspectives to the classroom every day. They express themselves through digital projects, presentations, and multimedia creations, and these artifacts are powerful representations of their growth and understanding. However, with limited storage on classroom devices, we often face the challenge of saving and safeguarding their hard work. An external hard drive would allow us to securely store each project, preserving their work and progress for future reference, revision, and celebration. This tool will ensure that every student’s contribution is safely archived, providing them with a sense of ownership and pride in their digital achievements.
With this project, our goal is to build a reliable digital library of student work that they can revisit throughout the year, reflecting on their learning journey and seeing how far they've come.
The external hard drive will serve as a secure hub for storing collaborative projects, video presentations, and creative assignments that we can showcase during parent-teacher conferences and school events. This will not only support student learning and accountability but also foster a deeper sense of community and shared success in our classroom. By helping us achieve this goal, you’re supporting our students' growth, honoring their creativity, and giving them the resources they need to excel in a digital world.
More than half of students from low‑income households
