We raised enough to buy eight iPads for my classroom in the first year. I involved the students as much as possible in raising the money to give them a sense of ownership, and an appreciation of how much iPads and other digital tools cost, so we sold classroom projects to the community and wrote thank you notes to the donors.
I reached out to donors through selected fundraising websites like, GoFundMe and Adopt-A-Classroom, where people around the world could donate. Seizing the initiative, I set out to raise funds to buy technology for my students.
#PHOTOSTORY PROJECTS HOW TO#
To be prepared for high school, college and a career, students must know how to navigate and use these digital devices properly. But, as I have a master’s degree in Educational Computer Technology, I knew the huge advantage that digital devices in the classroom can provide to my students. I teach at Turnpike Elementary School, a Title 1 school that did not have any classroom digital tools. In New Hampshire, there was a 1:1 program initiative where digital tools were provided and encouraged.
I soon realized that my classroom in Troy was going to be a much different experience. After beginning my career teaching third and fourth grades in New Hampshire, I moved on to a new position in Troy, New York to be with my husband.
