My Project

In today’s digital age, technology plays an essential role in supporting student learning. At my school, we have introduced iPads in the classroom and library to enhance student engagement, facilitate research, and improve learning outcomes. However, we face a significant challenge—our current charging infrastructure is insufficient.

We have only a limited number of charging stations, and students often struggle to find fully charged iPads when they need them.

Our school is a Title 1 school and if ipads are not properly taken care of, we lose them with no means to replace them.

The purchase of charging carts will allow the library to:

Ensure that every iPad is fully charged and ready for use.

Store and organize the devices safely to prevent damage or loss.

Promote equitable access to technology for all students, including those who do not have personal devices.

Support the growth of the school’s digital learning programs, providing students with opportunities to interact with various learning tools and resources.
