My Project

My current classroom laptop that I use cannot used with todays resources. I teach at a Title 1 school and this laptop will be beneficial for my classroom to help my students be successful. This laptop will allow me to have better screen resolution and better video card, which I could clearly see presenters during online professional development courses. This new laptop will allow me to attend virtual professional development classes without any interruptions. With all the high tech laptop specs I will without a doubt be able to navigate through all the necessary platforms to learn, teach, and motivate my students.

I am always trying to bring new and exciting ways of learning to my classroom.

Having a laptop will open new doors for my students to explore a new technology and engage our learning! The options are limitless. I will be able to use this technology to differentiate instruction for all learners. I anticipate student engagement will go up as well. I will be able to generate presentations, communicate with parents, and have an interactive classroom to help my students succeed.

My students are such hard workers and deserve the best. When my antiquated technology fails the children suffer. Having a new and improved laptop would help create successful lessons so my students can thrive.
