My Project

I am a dedicated educator that works in special education I'm passionate about learning more about how to better serve my students.

However, to fully participate in this program, I need a reliable laptop.

Unfortunately, my current device is 4 years old, slow, outdated, unreliable. This makes it difficult to keep up with online coursework, access learning materials, and participate in virtual class sessions.

A new laptop will be a game-changer for my education and ultimately, for the success of my students. It will allow me to attend online classes which helps me not miss any important lectures or discussions.

I will be able to complete assignments and be able to access learning materials, research effectively, and submit assignments on time. A new laptop will help me stay organized and will help me manage my coursework, schedule, and communication with instructors.

By investing in my education, you're investing in the future of our youngest learners. With a strong foundation in early childhood education, I can create a more engaging and effective learning environment for all my students.

What I Need: New Laptop that is durable and reliable with enough processing power and storage to handle online learning platforms, educational software, and research needs.

Thank you so much.

Mrs. Wong-Ackerman
Grades 3-5
