Bringing Learning To Life

Help me give my students an interactive smartboard that will make learning more engaging, visually stimulating, and hands-on for every type of learner."

My Project

I teach at an alternative high school where students benefit from extra support, compassion, and encouragement. Many of my students face significant challenges in their daily lives, yet they remain determined to earn their diploma. Our school is committed to helping each of them overcome these obstacles and achieve their goal of graduating high school.

An interactive smartboard would be a game-changer for my students and our classroom.

An interactive smartboard will enhance learning in Health and Physical Education by making lessons truly interactive. Instead of passively watching, students will actively participate in quizzes, group discussions, movement-based games, and real-life scenarios. This hands-on approach improves retention, encourages critical thinking about health and fitness, and promotes practical skills they can use outside the classroom — all while keeping students focused, energized, and excited to learn.
