Since I am teaching math in my CS room this coming year, I need to find a way to write on the board that will display on all of the monitors around the room. The ipad will allow me to use the Vivi app so that I can write on the slides and show the math and then display it to all of my monitors. It is an exciting change for this coming year and I am looking forward to making it work in my classroom. The markers will allow students to display their learning in the classroom as well.","fullyFundedDate":1749514942600,"projectUrl":"project/materials-for-cs-classroom-2/9395519/","projectTitle":"Materials for CS Classroom 2","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Sloan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9918763_orig.jpg?crop=180,180,x0,y23&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1739885927057","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9918763"},{"teacherId":9918763,"projectId":9266153,"letterContent":"Thank you so very much for your donation. I was able to get another robot to use in my computer programming class as well as other materials to use in my computer science club. The robot was an excellent challenge for my students. They were able to put it together and then learn how to build circuits. The sound system allows the students to have background noise while they are working. It is much better than what we currently have in the classroom and allows fun music to be played in class.","fullyFundedDate":1745621116618,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-supplies-for-cs/9266153/","projectTitle":"Classroom Supplies for CS","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Sloan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9918763_orig.jpg?crop=180,180,x0,y23&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1739885927057","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9918763"},{"teacherId":9918763,"projectId":9261297,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generous gift.

They experienced success with robotics since this robot was easy to use and could be controlled with their fingers on the iPad. Not only did they use the robot to code, but they were also able to work together with general education students. They experienced a fun activity with a neat robot and had a good experience working with the students.","fullyFundedDate":1745619623802,"projectUrl":"project/unified-steam-coding/9261297/","projectTitle":"Unified STEAM Coding","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Sloan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9918763_orig.jpg?crop=180,180,x0,y23&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1739885927057","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9918763"},{"teacherId":9918763,"projectId":9128133,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your donation to our event., We hosted 30 students and were mentored by 8 high school students.
