While many families are familiar with technology at home, using these tools in a structured school setting opens exciting academic opportunities. Students are engaging with lessons in deeper ways—practicing reading fluency with interactive texts, exploring math concepts through visual models, and collaborating in real time on shared projects. The technology allows every student, regardless of learning style, to access content at their level while also building confidence and independence.\r\n\r\nWhat excites my students most is the sense of ownership and creativity this new product brings to their learning. They love being able to annotate texts, record their thinking, and demonstrate understanding through multimedia responses. Small-group activities have become more dynamic, discussions more interactive, and even reluctant learners are eager to participate when technology is involved. The classroom energy has shifted; students feel empowered, curious, and proud of the work they produce.\r\n\r\nOne of the most meaningful impacts has been on students who typically struggle to stay engaged. A few of my quieter students have found their voice through digital tools that let them express ideas in new ways, and several students who often need additional support are now completing assignments more confidently because the technology scaffolds their learning. Seeing these students light up—and knowing they feel successful—is a direct result of your donation. Your contribution is not just improving instruction; it is strengthening student agency, joy, and achievement each day. Thank you for believing in them.","fullyFundedDate":1764640859284,"projectUrl":"project/tech-4-teacher/9879595/","projectTitle":"Tech 4 Teacher","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Rios","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7765208_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1756561551657","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7765208"},{"teacherId":7903952,"projectId":9106202,"letterContent":"The International School at Mesa del Sol's Kindergartners and Pre- Kindergartners have used the small gardening tools, the gloves and the watering cans to create a lovely garden in our back playground!
