My Students

My school consists of middle students who come from varying backgrounds and face daily struggles. During the school year, some of these students have limited resources to buy the updates school supplies that they need and want.

They work hard to give what they have to others during the holidays by conducting a toy drive so now I would like to give back to them the technology they need.

Please consider helping this classroom. The technology will really help them investigate history.

My Project

My students need new technology to help them deepen their knowledge of Social Studies. There are many features included in the laptop that will allow my students to excel. For example differentiated learning, and numerous websites. Also being in a large classroom with 34 students in a class, the use of technology will support the use of individual stations. The document camera and basic supplies will help them get the supplies they need to excel.

The use of laptops and document cameras will allow for both my Special Education and General Education students to engage and access knowledge that will deepen their knowledge of Social Studies.
