Our Story - One Week After Launch

Here’s what we’re hearing from teachers after they get their second screen:

  “...this is exactly what is needed right now!” — Linea L. Seattle, WA

“I am speechless! This is the best way to help me and the children.” — Julia W. Norfolk, VA

“This is life changing! Seriously.” — Kathleen H. Sumner, WA

“...you have no idea how much this will positively impact my students.” — Amy P. Seattle, WA

“I’m actually brought to tears by your kindness” — Rose V. Seattle, WA

“I am overcome with joy… each and every day more efficient…” — Cyerra C. Winchester, CA

We’ve had some great articles in TechCrunch and GeekWire and the project has gone viral among teachers -- we’re getting about 1,000 monitor requests from teachers every day!

What we’re doing about the waitlist

Currently, we have over 10,000 teachers waiting for monitors and we don’t have enough donors.

If you can spare $150, please donate a monitor to a teacher today. If you know people who might be able to donate, please send them to this website to donate.

Here’s our plan to get teachers monitors as quickly as possible:

1. Large donors and foundations: We just signed a partnership with DonorsChoose to allow us to take tax deductible donations from large donors and foundations. This will help us fund more monitors for teachers.

2. Surplus monitors: Today we started matching teachers with high-quality surplus monitors near them.

3. Crowdfunding: We’re working with DonorsChoose on using their crowdfunding platform to let teachers help raise money for monitors from their community.

A donor wrote to us and said, “I can't believe anyone can teach online with only one monitor. It's cruel and unusual.”

It pains me deeply that we have teachers waiting for monitors during the COVID online education crisis. I promise to work as hard as I can to get you a monitor soon!
