While many donors are familiar with using technology at home, this tool allows students to do much more than simply consume information—it helps them actively practice skills, collaborate with classmates, and receive immediate feedback. Students are able to visualize concepts, revise their work in real time, and take greater ownership of their learning in ways that were not possible before.\r\n\r\nWhat excites students most is how hands-on and responsive the technology is. Lessons feel more dynamic, and students are eager to participate because they can see their thinking come to life on the screen. Whether they are analyzing information, creating products, or demonstrating understanding, this tool makes learning feel relevant and modern, which has noticeably increased motivation and focus.\r\n\r\nSeveral students who were previously hesitant to participate have especially thrived with this new technology. Students who struggle with confidence benefit from being able to revise privately and work at their own pace, while others who excel enjoy the opportunity to challenge themselves creatively. Overall, this project has helped create a more inclusive classroom where every student feels empowered to engage, explore, and succeed.","fullyFundedDate":1763595551688,"projectUrl":"project/empower-students-with-ai-learning-tools/9828482/","projectTitle":"Empower Students with AI Learning Tools","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Gembara","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9932057"},{"teacherId":8958173,"projectId":9832042,"letterContent":"My class and I cannot thank you enough for your generosity!

Most recently, students completed a document-based investigation where they analyzed primary sources, annotated texts collaboratively, and responded to each other's thinking in real time. Instead of waiting for limited computer access or relying on phones, every student was fully engaged, researching, writing, revising, and discussing at the same pace. One moment that stood out was watching students independently fact-check claims and debate evidence with confidence—skills that are central to both civic literacy and academic success.\r\nWhen the Chromebooks arrived, the reaction was immediate and genuine excitement. Students recognized that this wasn't just \"new technology,\" but a tool that showed they were being invested in. Several students said, without prompting, that it made the class feel more serious and more fair—everyone finally had the same access.\r\nNext, students are using the Chromebooks to work on a longer-term project connecting historical case studies to current civic issues. They are conducting guided research, drafting arguments, and preparing short presentations that require both written and digital literacy. These devices allow students to move beyond worksheets and into authentic learning—thinking critically, collaborating responsibly, and producing work they are proud of.\r\nYour support has given my students more than hardware. You've given them access, equity, and the opportunity to engage deeply in their learning. Thank you for making that possible.","fullyFundedDate":1760383407295,"projectUrl":"project/bringing-the-world-to-my-classroom/9810844/","projectTitle":"Bringing the World to My Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Gembara","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9932057"},{"teacherId":5628235,"projectId":10002274,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for all that you do in order to help my classroom to be successful!
