This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
A NEW laptop would be beneficial for teaching so that I can lesson plan and use features that a newer laptop offers. My current laptop is old, freezes and restarts. A newer laptop will be more efficient for lesson planning for my special education students. It is difficult to plan in advance for students with severe disabilities because it depends on what we get through the previous day. My current laptop restarts often or freezes and it prolongs my lesson planning and is extremely frustrating. As a special education teacher, it is important to differentiate lessons.
Having engaging lessons is my top priority for my students with special needs.
As we know, technology is a big part of today’s education system and success. This project has been created to support my technology means as a teacher. It would also allow me to participate in online professional development and enable me to stay abreast of the newest ideas and methods for special educators.
I would love a new laptop so that I can plan and create interactive differentiated lessons for all of my students. This year, all of my special education students have been diagnosed with autism. They need all lessons differentiated and scaffolded. With this laptop, I will be able to have the tools to plan at work and at home to create efficient lesson plans for my students.
Writing IEP’s (Individualized Education Plans) takes up a large part of my time. Please donate to this project to help me obtain this laptop so my students with disabilities can have access to better lesson plans, activities, and materials.
