This laptop has changed the way I deliver lessons. I have immediate access to digital resources that I can share with my students. I am able to enhance and enrich lessons using interactive programs that help students learn. \r\nI don't have to be concern with lagging issues or outdated processors that don't support modern security updates. \r\nI use the laptop in different ways. I use it to display lessons on a Promethean board for all students to see. When needed, individual students use the laptop to conduct research. Others students use it to practice reading and phonics skills. I use it to post videos to enrich and reinforce concepts that students are learning. \r\nOne particular programs my students enjoy is Blooket. This is an interactive learning game where students can get quizzed on concepts they are learning in class.\r\n\r\nOnce again we are grateful for the generous donation.","fullyFundedDate":1769700583936,"projectUrl":"project/did-you-say-your-old-laptop-cannot-be/9728884/","projectTitle":"Did you say, \"Your old laptop cannot be updated?!\"","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Estrada","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10269260_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y60&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1761099450682","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10269260"},{"teacherId":9165444,"projectId":10188879,"letterContent":"Your donations have made a world of difference for my students.

During small group work, students can engage with interactive apps that reinforce math and reading skills, read and listen to fiction and nonfiction books from the app Epic!, while others use the iPads to research, create, and collaborate on projects. Recently, students used the iPads to research people for their Hispanic Heritage Month writing project! This flexibility has helped every child learn at their own pace, meet their goals, and feel successful.\r\n\r\nWe have already seen an increase in student engagement and confidence. The iPads have truly opened the door for creativity, exploration, and deeper understanding.\r\nIn addition, these tools are helping to prepare our students with the 21st-century skills they need for the future: problem solving, collaboration, and digital literacy.
