My Students

My students are amazing. They are motivated, enthusiastic and engaged in science. I have a great subscription for virtual labs for my Earth, Life and Environmental Science classes. However, some of my students don't have the Internet and cannot participate. Your donation will improve their learning!

My students will LOVE these!

They love 21st century learning, and will be excited to do more web work in class. This will also level the playing field, as I have not assigned much Internet work because some of my students do not have access to the Internet at home. I am excited by the opportunity to add more technology to our STEM curriculum.

My Project

My students will use these in many ways. Here is an abbreviated list: 1. Earth Science, Life Science and Physical Science classes will have a virtual lab learning station. I'll be able to have a technology learning station in my classroom! 2. Students will do web quests in all of my classes, including social studies. 3. Students will monitor their progress in my class. We have a web-based grade book, and my students will begin the AVID practice of monitoring their grades weekly, and committing to a plan to succeed.

My students will love these like you can't even imagine!

Your support will mean the world to us, and will buoy my class into the 21st century. Thank you so very much for your support!
