My Project
The science classroom has been completely revamped with the availability of high quality videos and interactive lessons. Since covid the quality of online lessons has improved dramatically. There are many programs being offered to simulate the science lab; by having this high-end laptop I will be able to run these programs and offer them to my students.
Having the high quality technology of a MacBook would give my students access to interactive science labs.
The vast amount of simulations to provide real life applications online has grown leaps and bounds.
