Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My educational philosophy is that every child deserves a quality education, regardless of where he or she grows up. I work in a school in the poorest Congressional district in the country. I teach 8th grade English-Language Arts to ESL and special-needs students in a small middle school. All of my kids come from low-income families, and many do not have access to computers at home. In today's world, most people in this country take it for granted that they have a computer in every room of their house or an arm's reach away. However, for my students, the reality is that the achievement gap is growing-and many experts say that technological lags in impoverished neighborhoods is partly to blame. I need to find a way to get my students access to computer technology. We don't need a behemoth, expensive desktop computer. A perfect solution for us would be a netbook computer. This small yet powerful computer would open up a world of technology for my classroom. With this tool, I can have students work in groups to research on the Internet, participate in interactive games, blog with their peers, communicate with schools in other countries, as well as publish their writing pieces. I would also be able to project lessons, activities, videos, and websites for the whole class to experience. A netbook would be a world-changing experience for all of my students, finally enabling them to experience some of the technology available to many of their middle-class peers. With your help, my students will be prepared in all 21st century literacies. Too often, children in impoverished neighborhoods are left behind, and with the technology boom, that trend has accelerated. You will give my students a chance to continue to flourish even amid difficult circumstances. Thank you from all of us.
