Help me give my students a cover and stylus to bring 21st century technology into our classroom.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Sartin's classroom raised $246

This project is fully funded

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

As a teacher in a low-income/high poverty school district and former student of this district, I understand that my students are faced with challenges both inside and outside of the classroom. Despite those many challenges, the mathematicians that I enlighten are motivated problem solvers that are curious about the world around us and destined for success.

My students are amazing middle schoolers stuck somewhere between cool and fabulous.

Many of my students are bilingual with English being their second language. They enjoy mathematics, and they are quickly learning the importance of teaching others how to fish instead of simply giving fish to our peers.

Just like most teenagers, my students love technology and socialization, and I want to use their interests to create a more efficient learning environment that fosters collaborative learning, open communication, developing their skills with technology and access to class materials that promote an inclusive class environment.

My Project

This project is the second installment for our Surface Pro addition to our classroom. It will allow us to protect our technology from the hustle and bustle of a middle school Math classroom. The stylus will help us bring the Surface Pro to life with its many features.

Access to this technology will allow students to build skills with various Microsoft applications that are relevant to continuing their education and having fun while doing so.

Your contributions to this project will expose students to new technology and make our learning time a bit more exciting. I mean who doesn’t love new tech? In addition to building proficiency with Microsoft programs students will be able to access videos for individualized learning, assist with a more efficient way to track progress toward mastery and enjoy ourselves while doing so with the convenience of a handheld device.
