My Project
Our classroom set of laptops are slow, broken, or missing keys, and it’s affecting learning. When students need to take online assessments or present group work, tech issues constantly get in the way. On top of that, we often lose access to laptops on school-wide testing days, which can be frustrating during project-based learning. These laptops would not just be used for my science class students but also my robotics club students, who need working laptops for their software!
I’m requesting 5 fast and functional laptops so my students can focus on learning and not troubleshooting.
These will serve as backup devices we can rely on for testing days, research, and project-based learning. Please help me start my technology journey to a full working class set!
Thank you for helping make sure all my students have the tools they need to succeed!
