Rather than passive screen time, our new devices allow students to interact directly with adaptive math and reading programs tailored to their specific learning needs. This interactive format makes learning feel hands-on and immediate, providing instant feedback that helps build confidence. Those who struggle with the mechanics of a computer and computer mouse, have the ability to be more independent now that they have a tablet option for their work. \r\n\r\nThe students were thrilled when the new equipment arrived, and their excitement to dive into independent learning stations each day has given our classroom routine a wonderful boost of energy! They jump at the chance to use their designated tablet that is specifically tailored to their needs. \r\n\r\nThis technology has made an exceptional difference for students who thrive in small-group and one-on-one instructional settings. Having dedicated devices allows these students to work at a calm, self-directed pace without feeling overwhelmed. It has given them a safe, supportive space to focus, practice concepts, and experience daily successes. Your support has truly helped us create a more engaging environment for every child.","fullyFundedDate":1778078439248,"projectUrl":"project/the-case-for-classroom-technology-equit/10239443/","projectTitle":"The Case for Classroom Technology: Equity, Stability, and Growth","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Sayers","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8783905"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_26108","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":32,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":48,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":86,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":7,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":6,"gradesServed":"4 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Record","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":50.0,"schoolId":26108,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Dolan Education Center - Durand Cud 322 on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Dolan Education Center - Durand Cud 322","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/illinois/durand-community-school-district-322/dolan-education-center-durand-cud-322/26108"}
