One of the most impactful moments was seeing a student walk in late, having missed school breakfast, and light up when they saw there was still something to eat.\r\n\r\nTheir faces lit up with excitement and gratitude.

It also supports speech-to-text, so students who struggle with writing can speak their thoughts and see them come to life on the screen. This has removed barriers and made learning more personalized and accessible.\r\n\r\nWhat excites the students most is how independent it makes them feel. They love being able to type their stories, research their favorite topics, or use visual dictionaries without waiting for help. The MacBook has given them a sense of ownership over their learning and that is incredibly empowering.\r\n\r\nSome of my ENL students who speak limited English uses it to read books that they once felt was too hard with a better understanding of what is happening in different curriculum stories. Another student with a writing disability now volunteers to share his typed work with the class because he finally feels confident in what he can produce.\r\n\r\nThis technology has truly leveled the playing field.
