Celebrating 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.
Can you imagine a classroom in the 21st century without any technology?
My student population is extremely diverse and the student body alone represents over 40 different countries.
We are a melting pot of cultures in a bilingual school which instructs in English and Spanish. My students are from an urban community where resources are limited and usually only the necessities are purchased. All of my students are dreamers, inventors, and creators, but sometimes they simply don't have the resources to make what they imagine and a school budget doesn't always allow for extra projects which provide new experiences and will never be forgotten by these children.
My Project
As mentioned before, my student population is extremely diverse in cultural origin. I have found though, that their own personal life experiences for the most part, doesn't expand beyond my local school neighborhood. I teach many projects that encourage students to imagine other countries, other environments, and animals. Sadly, many of my students haven't been to places to see these things. An ipad in the classroom would allow students the ability to travel the world, and gain the ability to research anything they want for a particular project. Once a project was completed, they would be able to use the ipad to upload their artwork to an on-line gallery where no matter what country their families live in, they could see the amazing things their child is creating in art.
I feel that an ipad would be such a positive impact on my students not only because they would gain more skills within technology, but also would begin to gain a sense of empowerment, that they can discover and learn about anything.
Students would also gain a crucial sense of pride, and self esteem through publishing their artwork onto a website for the world to see!
