My Project

Technology is a great necessity for the enhancement of education. Technology isn’t going anywhere and is greatly embedded in our lessons and the curriculum. The hardware and applications the district provides help me engage and connect with my students but the technology provided to teachers is very outdated. This laptop will allow me to create engaging lessons for my scholars. With this laptop, I will be able to improve the quality of teaching, the learning process, and communication between my students and their parents. This laptop and stylus can be used to store and access multimedia lesson materials. This technology will also allow me to tailor instruction to individual student's needs and learning styles. Adaptive learning platforms and educational apps can provide personalized learning pathways, ensuring that each student receives appropriate challenges and support.
