Mrs. Lapacinski from Philadelphia PA is requesting computers & tablets through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Tablet Time

Help me give my students tablets and charging station. My school has been working to increase the use of technology, and I would like to take it even further, and have all students use technology daily.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

My students come from the most trauma exposed neighborhoods in our city. They live through nightly chaos, and yet still arrive to school daily, and with a smile on their face. They inspire me, and I want to give them the world. I can't do exactly that, but I can give them a classroom filled with everything they need to succeed.

They have made a commitment and have taken on the challenge to be the change.

They want college, they want to learn, they want more- and are starting to gain the confidence that they are capable to do it all.

My Project

This year I was able to have some borrowed laptops placed in my classroom. My students cannot wait for their assigned day on the laptop, and every piece of work I have assigned to them is complete, and turned in on time. I have some that even beg to stay back from gym in order to do assignments on the computer! If I am able to get a few more tablets in our classroom, as well as an organized charging station for them, I'll be able to put almost my entire class on a piece of technology at least once a day.

My students will be able to work on their grammar skills, vocabulary assignments, building background for our unit of study, and even writing by submitting their typed papers to me through the tablet.

My school is also working on gaining more learning website log-ons for the students to use in almost all of their subject areas. This could be a real game changer for my students, something that they have never been exposed to before, and something that can truly help them prepare for their high school career and beyond.
