Empowering Education with Technology

Help me give my students access to a laptop to enhance their learning through interactive lessons, digital research, and access to online educational resources.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Suastegui's classroom raised $1,397

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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 Project

The laptop and adapter I'm requesting will make a significant difference in my students' learning by providing essential access to a wide array of interactive digital resources, online research tools, and specialized educational software. These tools are crucial for catering to diverse learning styles, offering personalized learning experiences, and facilitating the development of essential 21st-century skills such as digital literacy, problem-solving, and collaboration. I am able to provide visuals in form of videos that can talk about a variety of topics such as morning SEL lessons, math video helpers, science and history clips needed for teaching lessons. In addition, I am able to connect this computer with my document camera so that I can project student work reflections on the board which will promote share and talks.

By incorporating this technology into our classroom, I aim to create an enriched learning environment that fosters a love for learning, enhances student engagement, and prepares students for future academic and professional success.

My students are uniquely special because of their diverse backgrounds, unique talents, and unwavering curiosity. They thrive on interactive and hands-on experiences, and despite any challenges they face, they consistently demonstrate resilience and a genuine eagerness to explore new concepts and ideas. Their diversity and dedication to learning make our classroom a vibrant and inspiring place, and providing them with this technology will empower them to reach their full potential.
