Ms. H. from VA is requesting computers & tablets through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Bopping for a Laptop!

Help me give my students a way to better interact in my class with me. I will be able to see their beautiful faces so well on the large screen and my old laptop is slow.

My Students

My students are so wonderful and have adapted to virtual learning so well. They love to show me their pets and toys, along with their work when we are zooming for class. They are inner city children and qualify for free lunches. This does not deter them from their love of learning!

My Project

My delightful students were rightfully supplied shiny new chrome books for using at their homes. Unfortunately, I must use my personal, old laptop that is slow and the students must patiently wait for me to switch screens; this can take up to 5 minutes if it happens at all.

My students must patiently wait for my old laptop, but having a more powerful and new laptop will enable me to present my lessons better.

I need to be able to technologically keep up with my students and reach them faster.
