My Project

Much of the work students do in my class requires reliable access to online content, including our Englsh curriculum. District issued laptops and iPads are often heavily used (or left at home!), and unreliable. Having a supply of new functional classroom laptops will help ensure every student in my class has reliable access to the internet - with no excuses. We have a couple computer carts on campus, providing extra devices, but there's heavy demand and the laptops are all beat up. I received an order of 16 laptops 13 years ago (thanks Chevron!), but those devices are out of date and won't run a lot of programs.
