Help Me Earn My Master’s in Educational Technology!

I need a computer to complete my educational technology degree.

My Project

As a dedicated public high school English teacher, I believe in lifelong learning—not just for my students, but for myself. I’ve recently enrolled in a fully online Master’s program in Educational Technology to grow as an educator and better integrate meaningful, student-centered tech into my classroom.

To succeed in this program, I need access to a reliable personal desktop computer.

My school-issued MacBook is heavily restricted—it limits what I can download and install, which makes it difficult to complete assignments, access software, and fully participate in online coursework. Because my degree is fully remote, I can’t rely on campus resources or shared devices.

Having a dedicated desktop computer at home will allow me to:

- Attend virtual classes and complete coursework efficiently

-Access and explore educational software and digital tools

-Design tech-integrated lessons I can bring back to my own students

-Contribute meaningfully to group projects and professional discussions

By supporting this project, you’re not just helping me earn a degree—you’re investing in a ripple effect that reaches every student I teach. Your contribution will help me grow into a more effective, tech-savvy educator, equipped to inspire the next generation of learners.

Thank you for helping teachers like me keep learning, growing, and giving back!
