We Are Changing the World With Technology

My students need technology in the classroom. Our world is technology driven and our students need to experience these opportunities. I have chosen a laptop to use in our classroom to better their education.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Basch's classroom raised $478

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students are in kindergarten and are vibrant and full of life! My classroom is bilingual and with that comes a variety of cultures and new opportunities. They come from a low-economic area in Ohio. Even though there can be many challenges, my students are eager to come to school and learn in a safe environment.

My goal is to help my students grow their passion for learning.

I want them to feel confident in themselves and to persevere. Life skills are just as important to me as academics and that is what I want to instill in my students.

My Project

I chose a laptop for my project because my classroom is lacking in technology. School curriculums are now connected to the digital world! With this laptop I will be able to project morning meeting, use the curriculum connections, model exactly how to complete a task, and use different websites to supplement on certain skills.

My students are bilingual and need visual and auditory examples.

I cannot provide this to the best of my ability without a laptop to connect to the projector. I am confident with this laptop I will be able to open the door to a whole new world for my classroom.
