Device Dying: Please Help!

Help me give my students a more reliable way to communicate with me during remote learning!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Abelson's classroom raised $1,349

My Students

Distance learning is hard for everyone. Most of my students come from low-income households, yet try their best to be present at our online meets every day. Most of the students got free devices from the Department of Education, but what about the teachers?

My laptop is over 10 years old and it dying!

All of this screen time, meeting with my students, preparing work for them my device just can't keep up.

I am hoping that I can get a new computer with the most advanced technology and updated software to help my students the best I can.

My Project

Please help the teacher succeed in distance learning! I need a new laptop to help my students learn successfully in these unprecedented times. This resource will help students be more connected to lessons and learning.

My computer is dying from overuse!

I need a new computer to help teach my students. My computer is over 10 years old and it just doesn't have the capacity for me to go live and to appropriately teach my students on a daily basis.

I just want the computer to stop crashing and stop alerting me to updates so that I can focus on what is really important during this time. Teaching the children!
