My Project

I am grateful for the technology provided by my school, however my laptop hinders me from providing my scholars the experiences and resources that I would like to. We often enjoy creating and customizing digital stories, animations, story books, videos and collages filled with their images, illustrations and voices. Unfortunately, my prehistoric laptop will not allow me to download their images and basic documents.

I would love to receive a new laptop for my scholars and I to use to create extraordinary projects, videos, collages, picture book characters and more.

My scholars take pride in the projects that they create such as new picture book characters and they especially enjoy seeing themselves in videos and collages. Our class created a YouTube page to share with their families but they love seeing themselves and the images that they created. However, most of my creations are made using my personal cell phone that has limited storage space, but I would love to create so much more on a new laptop. Please help me improve my technology access in my classroom!
