My Students

All of my students have some kind of disability. They are in special education for a reason - whether it is a medical condition which has made them lose a lot of time in school and they need to catch up, or an intellectual disability which has made learning difficult, they all need something to help them learn. For most of them, learning has been a challenge so far in their lives. I want to try to challenge and change that for them. I want to try to make their lives easier and make an impact and enable them to learn to have the basic skills that make life easier to live in, to function and to grow.

My Project

I have been working at home due to COVID since last March. I have a very old home desktop computer that can't be fixed and needs to be replaced. When I use it, it frequently will crash, glitch and generally behave badly during Zoom sessions.

This is especially frustrating for my special education students who have to login again to the Zoom in order to have it be successful.

Sometimes these students will come back to the session, sometimes they will not. It is frustrating and time wasting for them when the Zoom has to be restarted. Some of my students are on the autism spectrum, and these disconnects have caused meltdowns for them. I am looking for a laptop to replace this creaky 10 year old computer so that I can work efficiently and create Zoom sessions that are robust in order to continue helping my students learn.
