You Light Up My Life

My students need a projector lamp so that we can continue to use our projector.

My Students

We love technology! My students are excited and motivated by the latest in technology. Why not give them the very best in educational technology, so that they can learn in the very best ways?

I teach K-8 music in a charter school in Brooklyn, NY.

The majority of my many students are kinesthetic and visual learners, and so I strive to provide them with a comprehensive music education that will fully engage them and always excite them. One way to do this is with our Smartboard. We use our classroom Smartboard on a daily basis - to play interactive games, to view presentations, to watch video clips of instruments and musicians, and much more. I can't imagine a more fun and productive tool than the Smartboard.

My Project

With all the use we've given our Smartboard over the past two years, we are now in need of a new projector lamp. With a new projector lamp, our Smartboard will be up and running for the next couple of years. As a result of your generosity, my students will be able to instantly see each others' amazing work up close. They will be able to continue to view real live performances. The information I present to them will be dynamic and eye-catching. My students will learn and experience music in so many ways!

With a new projector lamp, my students will have access to new technology that will truly excite and engage them.

Your generosity will impact an entire school full of students, and will continue to do so for years to come.
