Computers in the Classroom

The Description

With these funds I will integrate technology into my classroom.  In my 8th grade English class we are constantly exploring new subjects.  As an extension, a laptop would allow my students to research relevant topics and ignite their curiosity and expand their learning.  In addition, I could get educational software to install on it to foster learning and my students would be able to write essays and do many other projects.

Greiner is an urban school, comprised of over 90% economically disadvantaged/at-risk students.  With limited resources, your help would greatly increase learning for many of my students who do not have access to computers at home.

I will use these funds to purchase a Dell Inspirion 15 7000 (starting at $649 and rated one of the best school computers).

Back Up Plan

If I do not meet my goal I will purchase a used laptop.

About the Creator

I'm an 8th grade English teacher at Greiner Jr. High in Dallas. I've been a teacher for 11 years. Prior to teaching I was a police officer. I grew tired of dealing with juveniles who had made bad decisions and were then being introduced to the criminal justice system. I was motivated to try and reach these students before they reached that point, and decided to became a teacher. My goal now is to help students reach their full potential and grow up to become educated, productive members of society
