Help me give my students the use of the Lenovo Touch Screen desktop to help make our remote teaching experiences better - by allowing me to have a desktop instead of an outdated laptop computer.

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 Students
I love my students. They are predominantly low-income students who are newly arrived immigrants, living in overcrowded living situations, and/or shelters. Many do not have school supplies and often have an issue with attendance. Most of the students in my school are reading below grade level and the school does not have enough funding to provide the necessary academic intervention that is needed. The students are fun, creative, happy, and kind. They are so polite and before COVID, I was sure to get a hug every morning. Previously, I was the Literacy Coach for the school but was temporarily asked to teach the students remotely. I love it. They are ready and eager to learn every day despite the many obstacles they face each day. They are truly my inspiration to learn this technology and get better at it in order to support them the best way I can.
My Project
With this Lenovo desktop, I will have two screens to view the students while I am teaching and sharing my screen. I am currently using a laptop and I cannot see the students.
They often turn the camera off or have their hand raised.
I cannot see when I am sharing the screen and teaching. I can provide more intervention with two computers, multitask better, and reach the student's academic needs effectively.
I can also use more apps to support the student in reading and writing by using the assessments I need with two computers.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
