Because of you, my students now have access to resources that bring learning to life in new and exciting ways. Many of my students come from homes where technology is used mostly for entertainment, so having educational tech tools in the classroom gives them a fresh perspective on how technology can support their learning, creativity, and problem-solving. It's been inspiring to watch them use these tools to explore subjects more deeply and collaborate with their classmates.\r\n\r\nThe combination of new books and technology has truly energized the classroom. Students are especially excited about interactive reading apps and digital storytelling tools that help them engage with literature beyond the page. These resources allow students to hear diverse voices, practice reading at their own pace, and even create their own stories, which has boosted both their confidence and enthusiasm for learning. For students who previously struggled with traditional reading methods, technology has been a game changer, providing personalized support and making learning accessible and fun.\r\n\r\nOne student in particular, who was hesitant to participate before, now eagerly volunteers to lead group reading activities and shares digital projects with pride. It's clear that these new tools are not just educational—they are empowering. Thank you again for your support in helping create a classroom environment where all students feel inspired to learn and grow.","fullyFundedDate":1732237901775,"projectUrl":"project/books-and-technology/8658195/","projectTitle":"Books and Technology","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Jackson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8614144_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y38&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754568999130","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/tomlinsone"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_72900","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":729,"numTeachers":41,"percentFrplEligible":22,"percentAsian":13,"percentBlack":8,"percentWhite":56,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":12,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"17.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":88.1,"schoolId":72900,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Slauson Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Slauson Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/michigan/ann-arbor-public-school-district/slauson-middle-school/72900"}
