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 Project

My personal laptop is not spectacular, and it gets easily packed with worksheets, educational videos, and other resources—many of which are essential for children's education. So that I could use it for my own instruction, I requested a laptop. With this project, I will be able to create more instructional materials that will help youngsters with their schoolwork.

Additionally, it will help the kids' online classes if bad weather forces them to be held indoors.

Above all, it will help me refine my technology skills as an educator.

This will also assist me in tracking student achievement, collecting statistics, managing our classroom website, and interacting with parents.

Thank you in advance for supporting this project impossible to be possible for the benefit of my students.
