The Right Tech To Teach

Technology can facilitate communication and collaboration between students and their teacher. Students who develop a strong familiarity with technology in the classroom are better-equipped to remain proficient users of new technologies throughout their lives. This is why schools often focus on technology upgrades for students. However, upgrading computers for teachers should not be sacrificed, as teachers need to be on the same page and should be able to enhance student learning from their end: lessons, video projects, educational and social-emotional games are so much easier and engaging when the technology on the teacher's end is up and ready to go.

This is why Mr. Methling is asking that you support his dream of receiving a new laptop. He explains, "It all comes down to functionality and general ease in teaching lessons in a way that is engaging and motivating. Literally everyone in the school will benefit as I often make presentations and videos for the school. I have a great goal of editing class videos, creating podcasts and presenting lessons in the most engaging way possible."

Support this dream and provide this up and coming technology superstar teacher at Holy Family, with a work laptop that can handle all of the programs he likes to use with his students, while functioning at a high speed!
