They immediately began testing it out—huddling around during a layout brainstorm, adjusting its height, and laughing at how much easier it was to move between editing stations. The desk has become the heart of our creative workspace. Students now gather there to review page proofs, collaborate on captions, and plan upcoming photo spreads. It has changed the energy in the room—students are more focused, more mobile, and more engaged in the collaborative process of creating something lasting for their peers.\r\n\r\nOne of my favorite moments came during a recent deadline day. A small group stood around the desk, laptops open, trading ideas on font choices and layout alignment while another student double-checked photo credits. Instead of sitting separately, they were leaning in together, actively problem-solving and encouraging one another. This kind of organic teamwork is exactly what I hoped for when requesting this resource. As we continue building this year's book, the standing desk will remain central to our workflow—helping students produce, refine, and celebrate the story of our school community.","fullyFundedDate":1747855114536,"projectUrl":"project/leveling-up-layouts-with-a-standing-desk/9363439/","projectTitle":"Leveling Up Layouts with a Standing Desk","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Burton","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6944989"},{"teacherId":10036296,"projectId":9572249,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation to our classroom. Your support for our new technology product has been a game-changer for my students. It has not only enriched our AP Seminar course but also directly enhanced the students' ability to engage with our focus on climate change and environmental support. I want to share a bit about what your gift has made possible and why it's been so exciting for us.\r\n\r\nWhile many people use technology every day, its role in a classroom is a bit different. This new product isn't just a tool; it's a bridge between abstract concepts and real-world understanding. For our AP Seminar students, this is crucial. When we discuss complex topics like carbon sequestration or the impact of melting glaciers, the technology allows them to move beyond a textbook definition. We can run interactive simulations where they can manipulate variables in a complex system—like altering a city's green spaces and immediately seeing the effects on local air quality and temperature. This personalized, hands-on learning is far more effective than a traditional lecture.\r\n\r\nIt also gives students more ownership over their learning. They can explore specific environmental topics that interest them, revisit challenging scientific concepts at their own pace, and collaborate on projects in a way that feels natural to them. Instead of just reading about a problem, they are actively engaging with it and seeing cause and effect in real time, which is essential for developing the critical thinking skills required by the AP Seminar curriculum.\r\n\r\nThe most exciting aspect for my students is the immediate, meaningful feedback and the ability to be more creative. The technology provides instant insights into their progress, telling them not just if an answer is right or wrong, but why. This turns what used to be a frustrating guessing game into a clear path toward understanding complex environmental data and scientific principles.\r\n\r\nThey also love how it makes learning more collaborative and creative. Students are working together to solve problems within the program and then using the new tools to create dynamic presentations that share what they've learned with their classmates. For example, one group used the software to build an interactive map showing the historical spread of an invasive species, while another created a short documentary-style video based on their research on sustainable farming. It has transformed the classroom from a place of individual learning into a hub of shared discovery and creative expression.\r\n\r\nAbsolutely. I've seen a noticeable shift in students who were previously hesitant to participate. The program's personalized pace has been a huge boost for students who struggle with public speaking or those who need extra time to process information. They can work quietly and independently, building confidence and a strong foundation of knowledge before they contribute to group work.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, some of my most artistic or visually-oriented students have truly blossomed. The technology allows them to express their understanding through visual mediums, such as interactive diagrams or video presentations, rather than just written reports. For a student who might find writing a 10-page research paper intimidating, this technology provides an alternative avenue to showcase their brilliant mind and in-depth understanding. It has given them a new way to showcase their brilliant minds and has made them leaders in our class.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your incredible support. You've given my students a resource that not only enhances their education but also inspires them to be more engaged, creative, and confident learners, ready to tackle the most pressing environmental challenges of our time.","fullyFundedDate":1755747216942,"projectUrl":"project/interactive-notebooks-for-ap-scholars/9572249/","projectTitle":"Interactive Notebooks for AP Scholars","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gibson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10036296_orig.png?crop=627,627,x704,y59&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1747259898353","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10036296"},{"teacherId":10036296,"projectId":9438389,"letterContent":"These materials have been an exceptional addition to our classroom.

Their final presentation was nerve wracking for them, (many had never before given a presentation) and adjusting the height of the desk for their \"lecture\" helped them feel professional and adaptable. Before, many of my shorter students had to use a step stool that ended up collecting dust because they would rather hold their materials than place them on the podium I had previously. This standing desk provided ample room for them to plug in their chromebooks for the presentation, AND hold their physical notes and materials. \r\n\r\nI have already created a welcome basket for my SPED student next year and I look forward to sharing it with them the first week of school next year!","fullyFundedDate":1747757280111,"projectUrl":"project/the-common-room/9365804/","projectTitle":"The Common Room","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gibson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10036296_orig.png?crop=627,627,x704,y59&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1747259898353","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10036296"},{"teacherId":10036296,"projectId":9369723,"letterContent":"This project has been such a godsend for my work this summer.
