Although the device was gifted to me as the teacher, its impact reaches every one of my students. Having a reliable, up-to-date laptop has transformed the way I am able to plan lessons, analyze student data, and support learners in real time. Many donors may not realize how essential teacher technology is in today's classrooms—this laptop allows me to run online platforms smoothly, access instructional tools without interruptions, and create more engaging, interactive materials for my students.\r\n\r\nMy Algebra 1 students have especially benefited from the improved efficiency and accessibility this laptop provides. I am now able to quickly check their online assignments, pull small-group materials on the spot, project examples clearly, and give immediate feedback—something that was often difficult with an older, slow device. What excites students most is how seamless our lessons feel now; transitions are smoother, websites load quickly, and I can introduce new resources that were previously too demanding for my old laptop to handle.\r\n\r\nYour donation has strengthened the quality of instruction my students receive every day. Thank you for investing not just in a piece of technology, but in the learning experience of every student who walks into my classroom. We are truly grateful for your kindness and belief in our work.","fullyFundedDate":1733248908251,"projectUrl":"project/bridging-the-digital-divide-empowering/8763241/","projectTitle":"Bridging the Digital Divide: Empowering Students with Essential Technology","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Quiroz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9742603"},{"teacherId":2531667,"projectId":9296400,"letterContent":"As a teacher, I sometimes feel as if I am on a deserted island, trying to keep all students safe, happy, and supported.

Recently, my students received two iPads, which we use to connect and interact with robots in our classroom. This has brought a new level of engagement, creativity, and hands-on experience to their learning. For many of them, this is their first time working with advanced technology in a way that feels relevant and empowering.\r\n\r\nThrough the project we've titled \"Connecting Technology to Life in the Inner City,\" students are not only learning coding and robotics, they're also gaining confidence, collaboration skills, and a vision of what's possible for their futures. The excitement in the room is real. Students light up when they see the robots respond to their code, and it's opening doors to STEM pathways many hadn't considered before.\r\n\r\nTo keep this momentum going, we now need an updated Mac to serve as a reliable base for managing the robots' software, syncing devices, and supporting continued development. The current setup limits what we can achieve and slows down the hands-on learning that keeps students engaged. With the right tools in place, we can fully unlock the potential of this project and ensure our students are prepared for the technological world they're growing up in.","fullyFundedDate":1739029523667,"projectUrl":"project/connecting-technology-to-life-in-the-inn/8869442/","projectTitle":"Connecting Technology to Life in the Inner City","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Taylor-Loyas","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7245990_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1590804920691","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7245990"},{"teacherId":4949388,"projectId":8748376,"letterContent":"The MacBook Air has quickly become an invaluable tool for both me and my students.
