Help me give my students a projector to stand in the technological gap for our outdated, inoperable SMART Board that is being used as a magnetic white board!

My Project
Picture this: a classroom buzzing with student energy, eager engagement and interactive lessons displayed on the cutting-edge SMART Board 6000S. Each of these students, has a unique story and an extraordinary potential, some have educational deficits or special needs that are addressed through small group interventions in a resource room. However, with the transition from classroom to resource room, the technological landscape shifts dramatically. The once cutting-edge SMART Board 800, now a relic of the past at 13 years old, serves as a massive magnetic board for moving math manipulatives or a broad whiteboard for simple word practice—it doesn't even have a projector.
Together, let's brighten the resource room, illuminate young minds, and create an inclusive learning environment that inspires every student to reach their full potential!
As a dedicated special educator committed to providing high quality learning experiences for all students, access to current technology is vital. The disparity between the technological resources in the primary classroom and the intervention space hinders my ability to deliver engaging and interactive lessons.
Our students, each possessing a unique blend of talents and challenges, are undeniably special. In the resource classroom, we have the privilege of nurturing these young minds through small group interventions. The overarching goal is to make abstract, challenging concepts comprehensible, tailoring lessons to match the diverse learning styles of our students. However, with the existing SMART Board in disrepair, a projector will transform lessons from traditional paper-and-pencil tasks to dynamic, engaging, interactive activities. This technology will unlock new avenues for participation and foster greater engagement among students, bridging the technological gap fostering educational progress.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
