A Champion for Learning - $297.63

Impact to My Classroom

# of Students Impacted: 73

All students in my classes are able to charge computers as needed when they come to my classroom. I can charge an entire class at once if we are not using our laptops that day, which is very helpful! These chargers save valuable time as students are able to get right on task and not look for their chargers or borrow one from another student. During testing times, students can leave their laptops at school to charge overnight so they can be ready to go and set for success the next day.

Original Grant Overview

Goal

My goal is to maximize learning time and minimize disruptions due to students needing to charge laptops or borrow a laptop charger cord.

What will be done with my students

Students will have access to a bank of additional charger cords in the classroom. If a student has forgotten his or her charger cord and their computer will not stay charged for the whole day, they may use one from the classroom. These cords will be stationed in a central location for all students. They will not be able to remove the cords from the classroom.

Benefits to my students

By having additional charger cords for my students to use, I can minimize the time they spend trying to find theirs when they've forgotten it and time spent asking around to borrow one from a friend. All of these situations cause a disruption to our learning. Additionally, it creates a safety hazard with cords laying all over the floor. These charger cords will be housed in a charging station in a central location in our classroom keeping everyone safe from tripping.

Budget Narrative

This request is for 24 HP brand laptop charger cords purchased on Amazon. No additional shipping fee is required.
