Support Ms. Farrington's classroom with a gift that fosters learning.
As we transition our classrooms out of the schools and into our homes, technology has become the epicenter of greatness and stress. Online learning has presented struggles with the inability to have that in-person connection and leaving us questioning how to bridge the gaps in learning. Technology has given us the opportunity to try and bridge these gaps but without the right technology, it can bring stress to all those involved.
My current computer provided by the district is not reliable, as the quality is disruptive and there is a significant amount of lag and breakdown. My device was provided by the district in order to complete paperwork and write reports, not for virtual learning. For example, during many of my Zoom or Google Meetings, my connection would begin strong but with multiple devices being used, the screen would freeze, the sound would go out, the battery would drain, and my lessons were disrupted.
These problems have truly effected my ability to relay information and the student's ability to learn. We are continuously playing catch up and this can also lead to us losing student's attention. With the help of this MacBook Air I hope to continue to provide my students with engaging lessons that will ensure that they each reach their full potentional.
