Elevate Learning with Tech

Help me give my students a more technologically integrated learning experience with headphones (and microphones), a color printer for student and teacher use, and a new sound bar to enhance the viewing of instructional videos, music, etc.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Mares's classroom raised $493

This project is fully funded

My Project

Help my middle school students to engage deeper in their learning through the use of cohesive technology.

Students will be working on many digital assignments and projects throughout the seventh grade year in English Language Arts and Social Science.

Students need access to working headphones with microphones embedded for recording and learning.

Students also do not have access to printers, especially a colored printer, to be able to make color copies of created project items at school or home.

Students also enjoy learning and working to classical music, but need a sound bar to able to enjoy this aspect of work time.
