UPDATE: Thank you parents for stepping up and helping Mr. Mukai realize his dream for his classes. His Project at Donor's Choose with matching funds was completed on Sunday evening.
This was a $13K project but because you all moved quickly during the small window for matching funds, it only cost us $6500 (most people remembered to put in the promo code for the matching).
Way to go Mr Mukai for going with Donors Choose and getting it out there to all of us so we could help!
Thank you, All!
Mr. Mukai, Science Teacher & Department head has activated a project on Donor's Choose. For every dollar that is donated between now and Sunday August 31, Donor's Choose will match. Even if you do not have a child in Mukai's class your child may get him next year and you are supporting the Science Department & School.
The goal is a class set of chromebooks. You can find the link HERE
And in Mr. Mukai's own words:
My
students will use these computers to carry out a variety of Internet-based
activities and enhance their educational experience. In addition to accessing
various educational websites (such as Phet, Khan Academy, etc.) the students carry
out quizzes and discussions on learning management systems, which not only help
individualize lessons, but also allows students to monitor progress and target
weaknesses. More importantly with our shift to the Common Core Standards, these
computers will allow my students to participate in in-class essay writing and
peer review.
