My Project

My students are all special learners who love and need hands-on learning. They learn best when information can be explained right away and when visuals or games can be pulled up to explain key concepts as well as teach them new skills.

I am requesting a new HP laptop in order to continue to provide the best in-school instruction to all my students as well as have a fast-working computer that we can continue to use during our therapy sessions to enhance our learning.

The one we have now is not working anymore. It is heating up and not working like it should.

My students loved using our HP touch screen computer in therapy as it could connect to our promethium board which allowed us to see visuals right away as well as use it connect to boom card lessons. A new HP touch screen will allow us to pick up where we left off before our old one broke. The touch screen is what we miss most as it allows the kids to manipulate the screen themselves.
