Your generosity has transformed the way my students approach technology and learning. Many of them came into the year with limited experience using a computer beyond simple games, but the new tools you helped provide have opened up a world of possibilities. They're learning how to navigate digital platforms, create projects with confidence, and use technology as a tool for thinking—not just entertainment. These skills are already showing up in their classwork as they collaborate more effectively, research more independently, and take pride in producing polished digital work.\r\nThe excitement in the room has been incredible. The moment students realized they could design their own slideshows, code simple animations, and explore interactive lessons, their engagement skyrocketed. One student who was often hesitant to participate has become our \"tech helper,\" eagerly assisting classmates and showing a new sense of leadership. Another student who struggles with traditional writing assignments has found her voice through digital storytelling, creating projects that she proudly shares with the class. These moments remind me how powerful the right tools can be in helping students discover strengths they didn't know they had.\r\nYour support didn't just provide equipment—it provided confidence, curiosity, and a sense of possibility. My students are building foundational digital skills that will serve them far beyond this school year, and they know it's because someone believed in their potential. Thank you for investing in their growth and giving them the opportunity to shine.","fullyFundedDate":1764719280389,"projectUrl":"project/from-mouse-to-mastery-building-digital/9743583/","projectTitle":"From Mouse to Mastery: Building Digital Skills That Shine","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Branham","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10022764"},{"teacherId":3957661,"projectId":9937836,"letterContent":"Thank you for the books that we needed for the low level readers.

It limited our ability to print student work, classroom visuals, and learning materials. Now, with this new technology, our students are experiencing what it means to create, publish, and share their ideas in real time.\r\nMany of our donors use printers at home, but in our underfunded, under-resourced school, even basic access to printing has been a challenge. This new printer is helping our students learn by giving them the ability to produce high-quality visuals for science projects, print drafts for writing assignments, and create personalized learning tools like flashcards and graphic organizers. It's not just about convenience—it's about equity and empowerment.\r\nWhat excites our students most is the speed and clarity of the new printer. They're amazed at how quickly their work comes to life, and they're proud to see their ideas printed in color and detail. One student who's passionate about art now prints her digital designs to share with classmates. Another student, who struggles with handwriting, beams with confidence when he can type and print his writing to participate fully in class.\r\nThis printer has become more than a piece of equipment—it's a gateway to creativity, accessibility, and pride in learning.
