I am able to continue my work once I leave the school due to the portability of the laptop and integration of the technologies that I use.\r\n\r\nThe laptop is also an important asset to have in the classroom because there are instances when a student forgets his Chromebook at home. On those occasions, I am able to have them work next to me on this personal laptop. That way, they don't miss out on classwork and are able to remain productive members of the classroom.\r\n\r\nStudents that are usually self-conscious about Math are able to hold their heads a little higher because they are starting to grasp concepts they never did before. The laptop gives me the freedom and opportunity to learn more about the online calculator the students use. Thusly, I am able to better present new methods of working things out online. The students are now able to grasp the concepts instead of being worried about computation.","fullyFundedDate":1739371418801,"projectUrl":"project/empower-learning-a-new-laptop-for-engag/9000268/","projectTitle":"Empower Learning: A New Laptop for Engaging, Dynamic Classroom Experiences!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Navarro","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5791033"},{"teacherId":9913154,"projectId":9090534,"letterContent":"On behalf of Trautmann Middle School's Esports Club, I want to express my sincere gratitude for your generous donations.
