It's not just about access—it's about purposeful engagement. Students are using the technology to collaborate on research projects, present arguments with multimedia support, and analyze literature using interactive platforms that boost comprehension. They're gaining real-world digital literacy skills that will serve them well beyond high school.\r\n\r\nThe most exciting part for students has been how interactive and empowering the new technology is. Whether they're recording podcasts, designing slideshows, or conducting virtual literary circles, they feel a sense of ownership over their learning. One student said, \"It finally feels like we're doing work that matters and could actually be seen by people outside of school.\"\r\n\r\n\r\nA few students who typically struggle with traditional formats have especially warmed up to the new tools. One English Language Learner, for instance, began using speech-to-text features and visual presentation tools to express complex ideas with confidence—something she once found intimidating. Another student, who rarely spoke in class, used the tech to script and record a thoughtful podcast response to Macbeth—his voice finally being heard, quite literally.","fullyFundedDate":1641403122663,"projectUrl":"project/mobilize-yearbook/5940511/","projectTitle":"Mobilize Yearbook","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Myers","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4490754_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1510609632833","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-j-myers"},{"teacherId":9551658,"projectId":9769596,"letterContent":"Thank you for supporting \"Recording Lessons in the Spotlight: Reaching Every Learner.\" Your generosity has brought meaningful change to my students, many of whom are nonverbal and require hand-over-hand assistance.
