My Project
My computer is very old. Being a student as well as a teacher, I do not have enough to buy myself a new one. Mine is slow and consistently having memory issues. I need this computer to not only help me take any professional development that I have the possibility to take (I usually take anything that I am able to because I like to ensure that I am doing the best I possibly can for my students), but also to assist me in completing my credentials entirely. I am on my last step, my TPAs, but my computer is so old and slow that it is struggling to have me type out and save this 40 page paper that I am required to turn into the state to even be considered for my full credentials. I am doing my best for these students and have been told that I am a great addition to the staff and have been working hard to relate and teach my students in any way possible. This computer will help me accomplish so much more, but also the major milestones that I am trying to overcome currently to stay where I am. Thank you for reading this. Thank you for any donation you make to my classroom. I am forever grateful and thankful that people think teaching the next generation is just as important as I do. This computer will allow me to engage students through all of our online portals, create google classroom assignments for them, teach them how to properly use technology and research, and how to type.
