Projecting a Brighter Class

Help me give my students a classroom projector to spark an interest in academic development. Students in my classroom like to learn and to be introduced to new ideas and concepts.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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

My students must keep up with the latest advancements in education and society to spark an interest in academic development—students in my classroom like to learn and to be introduced to new ideas and concepts. My school media does not have the capabilities to provide access to the latest ideas and educational concepts, so I would like to have a projector that will provide us with the best technology in our classroom.

Students (English language learners) and Spanish Learners who are introduced to content that is rich in images learn better and begin to find more enjoyment in learning.

My students will love accessing language and literacy content through various means.

Using this projector will be a daily activity in my classroom, especially during the literacy block. Cooperative and collaborative learning is always present in my classroom. This projector will do much more than enhance teaching and learning; it will allow students to access and view content instantly and in various ways.

By donating to our project, you will help improve and increase student attention and focus and ultimately help their academic success!

With this projector, students will be able to focus on the material at hand. Plus, in this technology-literate world, the presence and use of updated technology will increase my students' literacy and desire to learn and use the new technology.
