We hope to have the students engage in presentations and project-based learning activities, and this iPad will allow the students to be creative and engage in fun ways to present their project-based learning activities as well as research and learn to use new technology.","fullyFundedDate":1734403083918,"projectUrl":"project/ipads-for-classroom-set-of-technology-fo/8997508/","projectTitle":"iPads For Classroom Set of Technology For Research","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Levinson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mr-levinson"},{"teacherId":403327,"projectId":9410429,"letterContent":"Thank you for the support in making this classroom project come to life, the students were so excited to see a brand new iPad added to our classroom technology supplies. It was a huge hit and helped them gather their research when investigating the housing shortage issue that we are faced with today. What's most exciting about using an ipad versus a chromebook computer are the touch screen features in regards to the applets online. Students can drag and drop with the touch of a finger and see the instant results. It's fun and educational too.","fullyFundedDate":1754691803399,"projectUrl":"project/equity-and-justice-for-nyc-housing-crisi/9410429/","projectTitle":"Equity and Justice for NYC Housing Crisis","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Bohbot","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp403327_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1536778149172","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ybohbot"},{"teacherId":5099198,"projectId":9325919,"letterContent":"Thanks so much for providing our classroom and school with the needed materials to help our students learn and grow.
