Did you know that state-mandated testing starts within the first 30 days that a student enters kindergarten? Did you know that testing is all done online? Technology in the classroom is as relevant as pencils and books.
Our VPK (pre-kindergarten) students are preparing to enter the school system at a disadvantage. Help us equip our kids with the technology needed for them to thrive as they enter the school system.
Tablets: Each VPK classroom is in need of 10 to 15 tablets for a total of 40 to 60 tablets and each tablet (Amazon Fire7) costs $70. Your donation, in any amount, will put this much-needed technology in the hands of students eager to learn. Any donation that fits your budget will go a long way in helping us reach our goal. You can donate a tablet by contacting us (contact@learning-empowered.org) or making a monetary donation.
Interactive Smart Boards: Smart boards assist with group learning and have transformed the way teachers and students interact in the classroom. Smart boards promote student interest and engagement, help demonstrate complex information and prepare students for an increasingly digital world. Each VPK classroom is in need of one (1) smart board for a total of four (4) and each smart board costs $1,200. You can donate a smart board by contacting us (contact@learning-empowered.org) or making a monetary donation.
