My students are all issued chromebooks by our district so that they can access online resources such as Google Classroom, Nearpod and Kahoot. Unfortunately, the funding for these laptops is limited and many new students are unable to get one. In addition, If a student's chromebook is lost, stolen or broken it is challenging to replace them. They need computers in order to access their every day learning activities as well as the iReady program which we use to help close the gaps that students may have in reading and math. I am looking to get 4 chromebooks to use as loaners for students who need them.
This is of particular concern this year as we have had to quarantine students twice so far this year due to covid cases. Students quarantined at home without laptops miss out on up to 10 days of learning and fall behind their classmates as a result. Help my students stay on track by providing us with extra chromebooks!
