Computer Needed!

Help me give my students a new computer to enhance learning at school.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Bloom's classroom raised $1,946

This project is fully funded

My Students

Low income area, students lack sufficient resources to reach academic success. 100% of the students receive free lunch. My students live in a high poverty neighborhood and many of the adults in their lives are unable to provide sufficient help.

My Project

The computers in our classrooms are the turn of the millennium relics. They are so old that they often do not work. As an educator, it is my responsibility to ensure that our students have true access to the internet. I am especially excited having each student in the classroom have access to their own computers. Students will be able to create documents, blog, and put together multimedia presentations. Students will also be able to do research, create and design pamphlets to alert our community about current issues, communicating with other students around the world, writing and publishing their own work and practicing journalism with others to cover stories on social justice topics.

Your donation will do more than allow our students to keep up with new technology.

Your donation will make it possible for my students to see the power of action. We teach our students that anything is possible if you put forth the best effort. Your donation will help level the playing field and will give our Agents of Change a fighting chance to succeed. That is, quite simply, social justice in action.
