My students look forward to earning them through good behavior and correct answers, which has helped improve focus and effort throughout the day. Lastly, the pointer has been a game-changer for me during instruction—it allows me to easily guide students' attention without constantly walking back and forth to my computer to change slides.

Several of them said, \"This is so fun!\" and they immediately began exploring how the new tools could help them learn.\r\n\r\nThanks to your support, my students are now more engaged and confident. Our next step is to extend these activities into small-group projects where they'll create their own short stories using the new resources.
