This just might date me…. scratch that….this will definitely date me:
I remember having computers in school. Sort of. I mean, they weren’t computers by today’s standards. Al Gore hadn’t invented the Internet yet, computers weighed more than I did, the screen was always blue with a flashing cursor in the top left hand side, and only the smartest of the smart people used computers for their actual jobs.
Fast forward to today. Computers are everywhere. In fact, we can CARRY them with us anywhere. The Internet is THE THING (thanks, Al). And EVERYONE needs to know how to use them.
So….this means schools need to have them.
You know if I think I can help a school, I will, right?
And what school doesn’t need new computers?
How about FIFTY new computers??
Charter Communications is giving away FIFTY laptops to TWO schools. I’ll do the math for you – that is ONE HUNDRED computers.
With FIFTY new computers, your kids could work on their math skills, look up new words, create their first resume, learn Power Point…the options are endless.
Heavenly. And just in time for back-to-school.
Here’s how it works:
- You must be in a Charter Serviceable area in order to nominate a school
- You must nominate your school – public or private – by August 12th – you will get to share WHY you think they should win.
- Charter will choose the best 50 Stories for you to vote on
- You will have to tell your friends, family, fellow parents to vote between August 16th and September 20th
- Charter will announce the two winning schools (the highest vote getters) on September 27th
As if it wasn’t enough fun to help your favorite school….YOU are also eligible to win your very own laptop from Charter. They are giving away one laptop every day through September 20th.
What would you do with a new laptop?
