The technology has transformed how students interact with math concepts, how they receive feedback, and how confident they feel as learners.\r\n\r\nThe iPad will allow students to actively engage with mathematics rather than passively observe it. In both Algebra I and AP Statistics, students can write directly on the screen, annotate notes, highlight key steps in problem-solving, and organize their thinking in real time. This is especially powerful in math, where seeing each step clearly matters. Digital graphing tools, interactive practice, and immediate access to visual representations help students make connections that are often difficult with paper alone. Students can also easily revise their work, correct mistakes, and reflect on feedback, which supports deeper understanding and growth.\r\n\r\nStudents are most excited by how interactive and flexible the iPad makes learning. They enjoy being able to zoom in on problems, use color to organize their work, and instantly access examples or extensions when they are ready to go further. In AP Statistics, students appreciate being able to analyze data, view graphs dynamically, and explore \"what if\" scenarios that bring abstract concepts to life. The technology makes learning feel modern, relevant, and engaging, which increases motivation and focus.\r\n\r\nMany students who previously struggled with organization or confidence have especially warmed to the iPad. For Algebra I students, the ability to neatly structure their work and visually track each step has reduced frustration and math anxiety. Students who are quieter in class are more willing to participate when they can share digital work or ask questions privately through learning platforms. In AP Statistics, students who enjoy exploring data and patterns thrive when given tools that allow them to dig deeper and experiment independently. Overall, the iPad has helped students take ownership of their learning and feel more capable and empowered in math.\r\n\r\nThis technology has not just added convenience, it has meaningfully improved how students learn, engage, and succeed in mathematics.","fullyFundedDate":1768741228465,"projectUrl":"project/apples-are-than-oranges/10024024/","projectTitle":"Apples Are > Than Oranges","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Ozawa","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9357213_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1699396849654","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9357213"},{"teacherId":8400110,"projectId":9993759,"letterContent":"I want to sincerely thank you for supporting our \"Clean Spaces & Full Focus for Special Education\" project.

Before this project was funded, I always had to decline and sadly, tell the students I didn't have any chargers, and they would have to try to complete the online activity by looking on with a peer, or on paper. Due to this project being funded, all of my students are now able to complete activities on their computers, including a virtual field trip to the Palace of Versailles, and a gallery walk of WWI propaganda.\r\n\r\nThe paper and pencils (both colored and plain) were used most recently for our WWI Propaganda Poster Project, wherein students studied existing examples of WWI propaganda from a variety of countries, then utilized the goals and techniques that they studied to create their own WWI propaganda poster. When they finished, we completed a gallery walk around the room and hallway of our own posters and analyzed their purposes and techniques. \r\n\r\nThis project and its funding has allowed for more interactive and engaging activities and assignments in my 10th grade World History class.","fullyFundedDate":1768452158734,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-supplies-to-make-history-engag/10014638/","projectTitle":"Classroom Supplies to Make History Engaging","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Roddy","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10403103"},{"teacherId":8183194,"projectId":10027549,"letterContent":"Thank you so very much.

The microscopes and hands-on STEM materials you helped fund are already transforming curiosity into discovery in a way I honestly could not have predicted. What may seem like simple classroom tools to most people have become powerful gateways for my learners—gateways into a world they've never been able to access before, and one many of them didn't even know existed.\r\n\r\nFor so many of my students, science has always felt distant or abstract. They hear the words cell, molecule, fiber, crystal—but without being able to truly interact with those concepts, they remain just vocabulary. Now that they can look at something under a microscope and watch it come alive in front of their eyes, everything changes. The moment they slide a sample under the lens and the blurry edges sharpen into detail, something clicks. Their faces light up, their posture shifts, and their questions start rolling out faster than I can answer them. It's genuine, joyful confusion mixed with awe—my favorite combination in a classroom.\r\n\r\nSome of my students have told me this is the first time they have ever used a microscope. For others, it's the first time they've seen anything scientific feel reachable instead of overwhelming. Many of my learners process information best when they can touch, move, explore, and manipulate real objects. These materials allow them to connect what we talk about in class to something they can see and interact with directly. Suddenly, cells are not some mysterious topic in a textbook—they're right there on the slide, glowing, dividing, shifting, moving. Fibers are not just vocabulary—they're patterns. Crystals aren't diagrams—they're structures they can inspect, rotate, and admire.\r\n\r\nYou didn't just give us equipment. You gave my students access to a new way of thinking. You opened the door for them to ask questions, make predictions, gather evidence, and test their ideas. These microscopes have already turned students who used to shut down during science into students who now want to stay after class just to look at one more slide. Even kids who typically struggle with attention or confidence are leaning in, taking their time, and discovering they're capable of doing real science—not pretend science, not \"modified\" science—real science.\r\n\r\nOne of my students said, \"I didn't know there was stuff like that in things we touch every day.\" Another said, \"It feels like we're doing what real scientists do.\" That right there is the heart of why your generosity matters more than you know. When students start to see themselves as capable, curious learners, the entire trajectory of their education changes.\r\n\r\nYour support sends a powerful message: science is for them. School is for them. Their questions matter. Their futures matter. And they deserve the same quality materials and learning experiences as any other classroom.\r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of my heart, thank you for believing in my students. Thank you for investing in their growth, their excitement, and their endless potential. Because of you, they are not only learning science—they are experiencing it, touching it, exploring it, and discovering the invisible world that has been waiting for them all along.","fullyFundedDate":1760316191428,"projectUrl":"project/see-the-invisible-microscopes-hands-o/9716369/","projectTitle":"See the Invisible: Microscopes & Hands-On Stem for Every Learner","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Rose","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8400110_orig.jpg?crop=844,844,x0,y42&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1760559096692","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8400110"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_73677","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":3192,"numTeachers":114,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":11,"percentBlack":12,"percentWhite":26,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":29,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"28.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":61.3,"schoolId":73677,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Liberty High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Liberty High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/nevada/clark-county-school-district/liberty-high-school/73677"}
