I looked at 3 donors choose pages. The first page was about iPads for english language students, the second was about flexible seating, and the third was about getting a fish and reptile aquarium for the students to conduct science experiments.
1: iPads for ESOL: I really liked this donor's choose page. He did well explaining why he wants iPads in the classroom, to help teach English language learning students. He also explains that the students come from low-income homes and iPads will be able to help him connect students with reading, writing, and speaking english and collaborating with eachother. He also mentioned a specific lesson students will be using the iPads for: "We will use these iPads for writing words, sentences, paragraphs, and eventually five paragraph essays." I like this donor's choose because its simple and explains the need for the technology in the class as well as exactly what it would be used for.
2: Arts Integrated Classroom in Need of Flexible Seating: This donor's choose page was average I would say. This one covered flexible seating. There are a lot of pages on flexible seating and this one really didn't do anything to stand above the rest. There was also a typo where the author said "chose" instead of "choose." She explained what the flexible seating would be used for which was good.
3: "Creature" Comforts in the Classroom: The main issue I had with this page was the teacher/author here didn't use people first language when talking about her students, which may really displease possible donors. The idea is really good though, other than that I liked this one. Personally, I probably wouldn't donate just because of the missing use of people first language.
Overall, of the three, I would only donate to the iPad page. The flexible seating doesn't do enough to stand above the other flexible seating pages, but it does a good job of showing their need. The animal habitat page is for a classroom full of students with disabilities, but the author doesn't use people first language which we have learned is extremely important.
