My students are using the notebooks daily to stay organized, keeping track of key terms, diagrams, and practice questions that will help them prepare for the Network+ certification exam. The networking switch and wire cutters have been especially exciting—they allow students to practice making their own Ethernet cables and then test them in real time, which turns abstract concepts into hands-on learning. One of the most memorable moments was seeing students light up when they successfully created and connected their first working cable; they were proud, energized, and immediately wanted to try again to improve their skills.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the materials, their faces lit up with excitement. Many of them said, \"We feel like real IT professionals now!\" The game buzzers were an instant favorite—students eagerly compete during our review sessions, buzzing in to answer multiple-choice practice questions just like on a game show. This not only keeps them engaged, but also helps me assess who is ready for the exam and who might need additional support.\r\n\r\nThe next step for my students is to continue building confidence with both the hands-on labs and the exam-style questions. We're working toward simulating the testing environment so they feel fully prepared when they sit for the certification exam. Thanks to these resources, my students aren't just studying; they are experiencing what it means to think and act like certified IT professionals. This has not only boosted their technical knowledge but also their belief in their ability to succeed in a competitive field.","fullyFundedDate":1751251943887,"projectUrl":"project/gamifying-everyday-learning/9122006/","projectTitle":"Gamifying Everyday Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Grayson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7094978_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1669997276388","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7094978"},{"teacherId":7094978,"projectId":8818382,"letterContent":"We can't thank you enough for your generous support in helping our students gain hands-on experience with computer networking skills in the classroom. Because of your contribution, our students are no longer just learning from textbooks—they are actively engaging with real-world technology, setting up networks, troubleshooting issues, and developing skills that will serve them in college and beyond.\r\n\r\nThe most exciting part for our students has been the opportunity to work with actual networking equipment and software, rather than just reading about how it functions. They are learning to make cables, configure routers, secure connections, and solve problems just like IT professionals. This hands-on experience has made the subject come alive in a way that lectures alone never could. One student, who initially struggled with traditional learning methods, has truly thrived with this interactive approach. Watching their confidence grow as they successfully built and tested their first working network was an incredible moment!\r\n\r\nYour generosity is not only providing education—it's shaping futures.
