In my classroom, technology isn't just a tool—it's a gateway to new possibilities. Whether it's through interactive apps that teach social-emotional skills, virtual activities that allow students to collaborate creatively, or digital resources that make learning accessible for all, technology helps bridge gaps and brings lessons to life. For many of my students, having access to technology in the classroom is their first real opportunity to use it in ways that directly support their education and personal growth.\r\n\r\nThe most exciting part of using technology is how it empowers my students to take charge of their learning. They love exploring interactive games that teach self-regulation or completing digital projects where they can express themselves in new ways. The ability to explore and practice SEL concepts—such as managing emotions or building empathy—through engaging tech-based activities keeps them motivated and excited to learn. It's heartwarming to see their confidence grow as they master new tools and skills, knowing they can carry these lessons into the real world.","fullyFundedDate":1715105634953,"projectUrl":"project/empowering-creativity-through-tech/8273187/","projectTitle":"Empowering Creativity through Tech!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Tee","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6959710_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1736049963751","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6959710"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_105197","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":376,"numTeachers":27,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":98,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":1,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"1 - 4","studentTeacherRatio":"13.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":29.0,"schoolId":105197,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about KIPP District of Columbia - Spring Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"KIPP District of Columbia - Spring Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/district-of-columbia/kipp-dc-public-schools/kipp-dc-spring-academy/105197"}
