My Project
This HP laptop will improve my ability to produce top quality work for my students. The NYC DOE /school provides me with a slower outdated model of a laptop. This laptop has a faster speed and the ability to handle the jobs I have for my great bunch of ENL students. I teach all areas in all subjects, catering to the ENL population. I am looking for a more efficient way to access grade level texts, activities and translations for my students. This laptop will assist me in providing my students better graphics when presenting information to the class. In addition this laptop is able to do more, in a quicker speed, with better graphics to project and assist quickly with translations and accessing viable information.
