My Project

This project will make a significant difference in the lives of my students. We are located in the Chatham neighborhood of Chicago, and over 90% of our students are low-income. I teach technology to students in Pre-K through 8th Grade, ranging from general education to severe and profound disabilities. We are currently using computers that run on Windows 7 and were purchased over 10 years ago. They are breaking down on us. I am trying to give my students a leg up in this world by providing them with a valuable technology education that they carry on into their adult and career lives. Please help to provide my students with the tools needed to be successful in this modern world.
