My Project

It is an exciting time at our school! The 2025-2026 school year is the second year that our school uses a school-wide broadcast as a way to communicate a wide variety of announcements and messages to students and staff! I am requesting an updated Apple computer to support the creation of the broadcast and to enhance learning!

The new Apple computer will provide me with access to updated educational technology and support students with technology-based learning activities.

Utilizing an updated Apple computer will not only help me prepare and deliver digital instructional materials more effectively when teaching, but it will also run video editing software and broadcasting tools smoothly.
