Techno Teaching

Help me give my students the opportunity to learn in class and digitally. Education and teaching is headed in a totally new direction. Technology is necessary to support all of my scholars.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. McFarland's classroom raised $1,229

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

My scholars are a diverse group of learners that enjoy using their imaginations and creativity to demonstrate their knowledge as well as collaborate with their peers. Hands on activities engage each one at their own level making learning interesting and fun even when they are faced with a challenge. Each one will have the opportunity to think outside the box by being able to build their unique solutions and express their own thinking. It will allow for everyone's ideas and imaginations to come together benefiting our classrooms community.

My Project

Teaching both in class and online at the same time is a bit of a challenge. This laptop will allow for me to share multiple screens and enhance learning both in class as well as for my distance learners. I will be able to provide instruction using a variety of information without having to transition back and forth between my scholars and learning materials. It is important for me to be able to view both online scholars and the materials simultaneously. Technology is the foundation that allows me to reach my scholars on many levels. This laptop will provide me with the resources necessary to meet the needs of all my scholars both in person and at home.
