SOS Technology Needed!

Help me give my students quality long distance instruction. I am requesting a MacBook Air and adapter to help deliver quality and equitable long distance instruction. I am currently delivering my instruction using an iPad and smart phone.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Ponce's classroom raised $2,340

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 Students

I currently teach 25 enthusiastic Dual Language students in a low social economic neighborhood in Los Angeles. Our school was heavily impacted, few of the 900 students that we serve have a device that can meet the requirements needed to participate in long distance learning. Our Administrator has scrambled to loan out all of our school's portable devices and to get hot spot devices to as many students as possible.

My Project

Please help me! Quality and efficient technology needed so that I might provide my students with equitable and quality long distance instruction. I am current delivering my instruction using an I PAD and smart phone, as my personal laptop doesn't meet the specifications for some of the digital platforms, and constantly freezes or logs me out of the platforms.

Please help me get a Macbook Air and adapter.

Your donations will help me deliver quality and effective long distance instruction, to my students that are already at a disadvantage, because of their low social and economic background. Please Help! No donation is too small.
