My Project

Knowledge and creativity are just an uncracked screen away from my students. I teach innovative and excited 5th graders who have innate skills to utilize tech effectively, and an eagerness to explore that is uninhibited. Sadly, we lack the ability to place technology in each of their hands while they are at school.

Our current 7-year-old devices are currently hanging by a thread, and struggling to connect.

The students have a strong desire to explore technology and create Google and web-based projects. They are yearning to get their own feet wet using technology as a resource in school, but the struggle is REAL! We have cracked screens held together with packing tape. Keys missing from the keyboards. Plugs supported with electrical tape. Devices unable to hold a charge.

It is hard to keep up in this technological age with ancient, dinosaur devices.
