My Project

My students need access to newer technology to allow them a more equitable education. Our school has outdated technology which has failed multiple times creating a gap in my students learning. By giving our classroom these technological advances, such as a printer, projector and speaker, I will be able to teach without any failed lessons. It will allow them to hear the lessons and see them more clearly. My students deserve to be able to access the lessons we need to teach and with technology being such a leader in education these materials will be extremely helpful in the classroom.
