Music Center Mania!:
In this request, the teacher is asking for materials for music centers. The teacher discusses needing bean bags, ping pong balls, or play dough. Overall, I thought this was a great idea because the teacher requested items that were inexpensive to create music. The teacher only needs $170, which seems pretty reasonable for music. However, in order to make this project stand out I think the teacher could have provided more details about how the students will benefit from this.
Start Building Our Education with a Bang:
In this request, the teacher discusses needing dry erase boards and stools for flexible seating. I thought the teacher did a good job with describing her students and school district. She mentions that she is a first year teacher and that she teaches in a low-income school in Oklahoma City. I think this connects to the audience because many people want to support new teachers especially those in a higher demand school district. However, the teacher could have discussed how the dry erase boards contribute to the students learning because she really only focuses on the stools.
Guided Inquiry Project:
In this request, the teacher is asking for iPads to use in her classroom. She discusses in great detail how the students are from low-income households. She mentions that the district only uses Apple products so the Chromebooks they have will be terminated. I think the teacher has a great idea of incorporating technology in the classroom, but I do not know how realistic this project is. She also mentions that the school has a few MacBooks so I feel like most people would not donate since she is asking for almost $2,500. In order to improve this post, the teacher needs to set realistic goals and lower the amount of iPads needed.
