Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

Usually, I get to teach 62 curious, energetic upper elementary kids in the Mississippi Delta all about the power of words. Right now, with school out, we're trying to embed that learning to the most powerful tool of our time, computer technology but our students don't have digital access.

During the COVID-19 crisis, will you invest in helping elementary school students become not only skilled readers and writers, but also tech-savvy innovators?

In a Title I school with 100% free and reduced lunch, elementary education provides the vital foundations for students to succeed throughout their academic career. We don't have time to waste. Rather than take the losses, let's make this time at home a launching point for transforming education.

My Project

The problem is simple: we need Chromebooks, and we need them now. It's a big ask, but it can revolutionize the way we approach data-driven learning for the long haul.

Right now, our school has a plan set up for remote instruction, but no way for many of our students to access it.

With Chromebooks, we can change that. Checking out a single Chromebook to a household within the community means that siblings and cousins in the same household gain access as well.

The benefit compounds: many collaborative learning resources like Newsela, CommonLit, Epic!, and Classcraft are responding to school closures by generously offering free subscriptions for the rest of the school year. By syncing with Google Classroom, students will have the opportunity to access high-quality learning materials and develop good tech learning habits for life. More than that, they will be able to access content that can help them become responsible, informed citizens. Let's do this. Let's take a crisis and jumpstart into a creative solution for underserved communities.
