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

I teach a wonderful group of students in a diverse area. I am blessed to teach an amazing group of students who I believe are excited about learning. They work very hard every day striving to achieve.

I teach students who are eager to learn but are not provided the resources that other students have.

I know in my heart I am teaching our future doctors, lawyers, nurses, and engineers. Most of them are low income and receive free lunch.

My Project

In this day and age of technology, almost anything is possible as long as the funding is available. Unfortunately, funding can be difficult to come by. This is where Donors Choose and the people who support projects are such a great help. With the Google Expedition Kit, a class of students can experience walking on the moon as well as the depths of the Earth’s oceans

With over 200 virtual reality experiences the Google Expedition Kit opens not only the world to the students but the universe as well.

With a Google Expeditions kit, I'll have everything I need to take my class on virtual reality tours: a tablet, virtual reality viewers, phones and a router to connect them all.

Virtual field trips will help expand my teaching beyond the classroom in an affordable, safe, and easy way.
