I didn't know the procedures and steps to take after and actually came across seeing that I didn't send this submission because I luckily received an email to update my change of school and then saw this so I am submitting it now. I did the other submissions after this first one and was navigating around on the site and saw that where it shows my projects and etc. so now I am a little more aware of what to do. As you can probably tell I am not tech savvy when it comes to tech and my former partner will agree.\r\n\r\nAnyways, here is my overdue write up: When I was at my former school the students enjoyed using the equipment to help them work through and overcome their fears and other emotions through the interaction of the games dealing with heights and other various situational challenging virtual games dealing with each of their various feelings that arose when playing. When their anxieties, fears, frustrations, anger, and etc. came about, we were able to teach them coping skills to use and apply to work on their emotional regulation and behaviors. It also brought out some of the shy quiet students out of their shell because they had fun watching each other and playing and some of them became a little more social with their peers. Of course there were also some students that still had their challenges but it was an ongoing process in helping them.\r\n\r\nWhen I moved schools, my former partner took over using it with the students at my former school. I am pretty sure with each student that he comes across will be just as happy and excited to use and learn how to regulate their emotions and other social /behavioral challenges through the interaction and participation with what you were generous to donate and help our students.","fullyFundedDate":1677895415841,"projectUrl":"project/utilizing-technology-to-bring-21st-centu/7213839/","projectTitle":"Utilizing Technology to Bring 21st Century Skills to Counseling.","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Nii","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8824099"},{"teacherId":314316,"projectId":10103619,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generosity.

One day we did a group activity and moving the mobile cart to the center of the carpet area encouraged more engagement and participation to get the project done. \r\nIn addition, the bins and containers helped with organizing supplies so students can practice putting things away in the right place and experience an organized space that is helping for learning.","fullyFundedDate":1771788329223,"projectUrl":"project/learn-here-learn-there-learn-anywhere/10109115/","projectTitle":"Learn Here, Learn There, Learn Anywhere!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Bongo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8357033_orig.png?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1771564465023","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8357033"},{"teacherId":8974487,"projectId":10107805,"letterContent":"The plastic magazine bins have helped us to organize our room so much!
