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

A laptop has become a major component in our everyday learning. We use the laptop to project our books onto the smartboard so that all students can view it since books are limited. The computer is also used to plan lessons, research and print resources for the students, and to communicate with parents through emails and school status.

Help me give my students a better education by proving them with an updated, faster pace computer that stays on when we are projecting to the smartboard.

It is important that we keep up with technology since it is considered the driving force of our education. We use computers for our online books and to assign and submit our work as well as for testing.

My students will be happy to have a laptop that doesn't cut off every five minutes where they can easily take there notes without me constantly having to restart the computer.
