In today's classrooms, technology isn't just an add-on — it's an essential tool for meeting students where they are and helping them grow. I use the iPad daily for whole-group lessons, projecting interactive slides, videos, and digital whiteboards so students can see concepts come to life. The desktop computer has been a game-changer for my lesson planning, grading, and creating engaging digital resources for my students. With faster access to educational materials and design tools, I'm able to prepare richer, more interactive lessons that carry over directly into the classroom.\r\n\r\nThe excitement was instant from the moment the iPad arrived in our classroom. My students love using it for guided reading activities and creative projects like digital storytelling and multimedia presentations. One of my more reserved students, who often hesitated to participate in group discussions, now confidently shares her work after creating it on the iPad. Another student, who struggles with traditional writing, has flourished using interactive writing apps that help him organize his thoughts and express himself more fully. The new technology has not only boosted academic skills but also built confidence, creativity, and collaboration among my students — and for that, we are deeply grateful.\r\n\r\nThis gift has made a lasting difference in our classroom. The iPad has opened doors for interactive, personalized learning, while the desktop computer has given me the tools to design and deliver lessons more efficiently and creatively. The impact goes beyond academics — it's building confidence, sparking curiosity, and inspiring a love of learning that I know will stay with my students long after they leave my classroom. Your generosity has truly empowered both my teaching and my students' growth, and we are so thankful for your support in making this possible.","fullyFundedDate":1746648551234,"projectUrl":"project/dont-break-your-neck-for-new-tech/9265521/","projectTitle":"Don't Break Your Neck for New Tech!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Neal","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9610043_orig.jpg?crop=1206,1205,x0,y482&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1743710846848","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9610043"},{"teacherId":3997300,"projectId":8831425,"letterContent":"Your generous donation was greatly appreciated by my students and myself. I use novel studies to teach reading skills, and several have a historical element of some sort, allowing me to teach research and history along with reading. A Long Walk to Water enabled us to learn about life and struggles in another country, and how people adapt and persevere to overcome those struggles. Students also realized how fortunate they are to live where they do and have the luxuries they have. Your donation allowed me to add variety to our novel study and further practice our reading skills.
