My Project

My students come from a financially deprived area of West Virginia. They are given iPads to use throughout their school day, however, the iPads are becoming older and becoming more difficult to update. My students are hard workers and love the challenge of learning math. When they need to finish online assessments or assignments it's difficult for them to go to the computer lab, so having a MacBook available to them would be helpful. Also, a Macbook would be beneficial for my students when they need a differentiated lesson either because they are working above their grade level or provide support because they are performing below grade level. This would be a much appreciated item. Having a MacBook will allow my students the tools to be successful.
