Today is the start of October’s BloggersChallenge with DonorsChoose.org and I’m a blogger stepping up to the challenge. Let’s help classrooms in need of technology!
Last year, the BloggersChallenge raised $500,000 through the help of nearly 50 bloggers! I’m excited to see the impact we can make for classrooms looking to use technology in the way they learn, share, and collaborate together.
Why Technology?
I use technology every day, and can’t really function effectively without much of it. Just think about the impact simple tools like a digital camera or headphones make on the way we are able to share with my family, friends and colleagues on a daily basis by sharing photos or using the internet to make a call and connect personally—don’t you want those simple tools available in classrooms? I’ve selected proposals from teachers integrating technology into their classrooms to make learning exciting and effective.
Why DonorsChoose?
DonorsChoose.org is an organization and an idea that I really like: the simplicity and the purpose. Connecting teachers directly with people who could help them in their classroom, whether they are interested because they share a geography, a subject matter, or just an awesome idea for igniting learning in students. I also added the DonorsChoose recommended actions from Social Actions earlier this summer.
What can I do?
Please participate this month in the BloggersChallenge, here’s how you can get going now:
- Support classroom projects by donating!
- Find more projects you think should be added to our Challenge, just put a link in the comments and I can add them to our challenge page!
- Send this link to others to participate and donate!
I’m excited to tackle this challenge together. Let’s make a difference in classrooms across the US!
