Because of your generosity, our students now have tools that are changing how they learn, create, and engage with their schoolwork every day.\r\n\r\nMany of our students already use technology at home for entertainment, but using it as a learning tool is a very different experience. In the classroom, this technology allows students to explore concepts more deeply and actively. Instead of only listening to lessons or reading from a textbook, students can practice skills in real time, receive immediate feedback, and revisit ideas at their own pace. This has been especially helpful for students who need extra time or alternative ways to understand a topic—technology gives them space to learn without pressure.\r\n\r\nWhat excites students most about this new product is how interactive and hands-on it is. They love that learning feels more personalized and engaging. Many students are eager to get started each day and often ask if they can continue using it during free time. The sense of independence—being able to make choices, experiment, and see results right away—has boosted their confidence and motivation.\r\n\r\nWe've also seen particular students really shine with this technology. Some students who were previously hesitant to participate in class have become more engaged and willing to try. Others who struggled with traditional instruction are now showing growth because the technology meets them where they are. It's been especially rewarding to watch students feel proud of their progress and excited to share what they've learned.\r\n\r\nYour support has had a real, visible impact on our classroom. This project has helped create a more inclusive, engaging learning environment, and our students are benefiting every day. Thank you for believing in them and investing in their success.","fullyFundedDate":1757542842597,"projectUrl":"project/tech-essentials/9698087/","projectTitle":"Tech Essentials","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Sadler","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8275598_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y504&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1642455004764","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8275598"},{"teacherId":2581827,"projectId":9520046,"letterContent":"My students and I can't thank you enough for helping this project become fully funded.
