I just received email notification that my 3 current Donor's Choose projects were funded...all by the same donor! A grand total of $7,712 worth of technology! This was the notification I received from Donor's Choose: "Stephen Colbert, Share Fair Nation (created by the Morgridge Family Foundation) and Greenville-based ScanSource are thrilled to team up and fully fund every project in South Carolina in honor of Teacher Appreciation Week. Thank you for all that you do for your students every day!" I had 3 projects on Donor's Choose and as stated above, they were all funded today. Each project was for 6 iPad minis and protective cases for each. So with the 6 iPad minis I received previously through Donor's Choose, I now have a class set of 24! For my past 2 graduate courses in educational technology, we were to write a reflection at the end of the course and set goals. One of my goals was to create a classroom with a 1:1 ratio of students and electronic devices. Now thanks to this generous donation, my dreams and goals are a reality! Thank you #Stephen Colbert, #Share Fair Nation, and #ScanSource for making me feel appreciated when I needed it most and for enhancing my classroom in ways I never thought imaginable!

My dream is to create a 21st Century classroom that encourages collaboration, integrates technology, and promotes thinking deeply.
