Ms. Melton from Rock Hill SC is requesting computers & tablets through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Laptops with Style

My students need a stylus to optimize their use of the new district HP touchscreen laptops. I picked a stylus that is known for more accuracy to help my students create their best work.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

My classroom is full of eager 4th-grade learners. I have 79% of my class reading on grade-level, and 75% on grade level in math. My school is low-income and has a high transient population. Each year about 68% of our student population enrolls or transfers out of our school. The primary reason is the number of apartment complexes that are in our school zone. We have a variety of levels throughout the school.

My instruction involves a lot of hands-on activities and technology.

My school district is 1:1 for grades 3-12th, this means each student has an iPad or HP laptop assigned to them for the year like a textbook. Not all devices are allowed to go home. 3rd and 4th just received our HP laptops. Every student is excited about this new technology. We have had a great year!

My Project

My students use technology daily. Now, having touchscreen laptops, the students will be creating a lot more. Students explain their thinking in math, create projects in science and social studies, and respond to reading on their laptops. I have found that one thing that stands in their way is when they are writing or drawing their finger hinders them from doing their best work. I see the frustration on their faces.

Don't you want to help students feel successful and do their best work?

I really believe a stylus will help students feel more confident, and not have to erase and start over so many times. All my students love using technology to create. Having a stylus will enable all my students to use their technology to the best of their ability.
