Hi 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!
