Support Ms. Leal's classroom with a gift that fosters learning.
I am a 4th grade teacher at a Title I school in California. My students live in a low-income housing project. My students come from families that cannot afford computers, let alone have access to the Internet. The only opportunity they have to access a computer is during school. Even with this opportunity, our classroom has one desktop computer that limits the time my students have to use it. A laptop computer will enhance the learning experience of my students. Technology opens doors to a new world. A world that my students cannot even imagine. If technology is so important and vital in our society, why are we technologically starving and depriving our students from accessing and using technology?
