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 Students

Technology is the future! Students can utilize different media to learn about a subject as well as to present what they have learned. Hands on experience is a great way to learn and retain what they have learned. It also is a great way to present their hard work.

I teach the entire 5th grade, which is about 75 students, Science, Social Studies and Reading.

Students are mostly from low income families where technology is not a part of their home life. My students are always asking to use the four computers that are in the classroom to do research. They are eager to use technology, however, limited on the time using technology.

My Project

A multimedia projector will make learning come to life. There are many areas in Science and Social Studies where the Internet can provide valuable information, videos and sound. To be able to project this information to the entire class instead of huddling around a computer screen would be highly beneficial. In addition, students will have a way to present their reports and projects to the entire class via PowerPoint presentations, podcasts, websites and more. The results of using a projector in class are endless.

I strongly feel that a multi media projector will only enhance student learning.

Students get more out of watching a video of for example Ellis Island than looking at a still picture. Students can make PowerPoint presentations on what they have learned and present it to the entire class using the projector. Our school has one projector that is to be shared by the entire school. Having a projector in my class will enable me to enhance instruction on a daily basis.
