Education Access For All: Tablets Are The New Pencil
Help me give my students tablets with keyboards so they can be successful this school year. Many students have not received devices from the city, even after multiple attempts to get them.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Mac's classroom raised $4,205
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
I teach at Title I school in Queens, New York where 100 percent of our students receive free breakfast and lunch. Our school serves students in grades 6-8 and provides rigorous academics, fantastic teachers, and a safe learning environment. As a teacher in a low-income/high poverty school district, my students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom.
My students don't wear their struggles on them, they walk into class every day ready and are eager to learn with a smile on their face even though they have struggled academically most of their lives because of their various disabilities.
As a Special Education Teacher, I see the learning struggles my students have to overcome. I also serve a very high percentage of ELL (English Language Learner) students. Many of my students receive services for English as a Second Language, in addition to their disability.
With all these obstacles set before them, not having access to helpful resources should not be one of them.
My Project
This pandemic has changed students education. Everything is now accessible through online. However, what happened to the students who don’t have access because they don’t have a tablet or computer? Students value school now more then ever. It is a constant in their life, in a world filled with uncertainty. Whether remote or in person, students know their teachers are here to support them. However, not all students have the access they need.
By support this project you are giving my students access to their education, support system and friends.
You are giving them a connection to the world.
Many students have been promised a tablet from the city, but have still not received them! And do not know when (or if) they ever will. Please help.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
