Help me give my students more interactive lessons and activities with up-to-date technology.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Cruz's classroom raised $1,531
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
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
Technology is a part of everyone's life; from the phone in your hand to the satellite that sends out the signal. After a year of remote and a year in person, my laptop has taken quite a beating. It is on its last leg and after 6 years of service, it's time for an upgrade. Having a new laptop will help me work faster on marking lessons, finding content for classwork, allowing better data tracking of students' assessments, and helping me increase my technological skills
This new laptop will allow more efficient work for the students as well as allow myself to work more efficiently during work and professional development events.
I will also be computer science in the possible future and need a laptop to keep up with the multiple projects I will be working on. With the new laptop, I can help students during class in live time and give them the visual learning tools they will need for the class. I can also show students who might not have thought that a career in computer science would be possible just how they can get into that field. I want to be able to give my student the best education about technology, but I can't do that with an out-of-date laptop.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
