The Description
With these funds I will...
Teaching technology in the 21st century is hard as it is and not having right tools in classroom prevents students from learning the skills they need to be successful in college and in life. I feel that for students to be motivated and being enthusiastic about computer Science, I need to have tools that engage them to the fullest. I do not have any ipads or camera or any other tool except old desktops that may not be compatible with the search engines and hence students lose interest.
After using the free version of Pear Deck, I have seen a great change in my students' motivation level and the whole class has been engaged in answering the questions. The free version is very limited and does not provide any feedback. The subscription for the Pear Deck is $99 which is out of my budget as our school has cut from the budget this year.
With the funds raised, I would to pay for the yearly subscription for the Pear Deck. My school is 90% African American Girls school. I am trying to encourage these girls for future career in Computer Science. Without the right tool, I am holding them back.
Here is the breakdown in cost for fundraising for Pear Deck
- Pear Deck - $100.00
- Preferred Partner Program (10%) - $12.20
- PledgeCents Platform Fee (5%) - $6.10
- Processing Fee (3%) - $3.66
- Total - $122.00 (rounded up to the nearest dollar)

About the Creator
My name is Kiran SIdhpura working at YWLCS. I been teaching Technology since 2007 and now teaching computer science. I fins that my challenge in teaching and getting my student to where they should be is not having the right technology in my class. I love to have some ipad and the peardeck for my classroom. However, I do not have the funds it take to get this for my classroom. I am reaching out to you all to help me help my student to experience new technology in the class. I am required to teach robotics but our school does not have the budget to afford the robots. Hence I cannot teach this topic.
I am constantly struggling to come up with funds to support my class. I do not earn so much that I can spare to support my class. I have two children both in University. If you are a parent, you know the cost of their education is huge. I cannot afford to support them and also support my classroom. Though in the past, I have spend lot of my own money.
I need help!
