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

One of my greatest challenges is creating a community of 6th graders that wants to collaborate and problem solve efficiently. By going 2:1 in the classroom with Chromebooks it will assist this challenge in a way that engages the mind and creates opportunities way beyond anything we could do before.

My 6th graders are at a pivotal age in their lives to where their learning requires them to critically think about real-world problem solving situations.

In order to assist today's digital native I am required to utilize technology to meet the needs of this skill building process. My students are extremely motivated when technology is integrated into my lesson plans and usually guides us to a higher level of success when these types of technology tools are available. However, the problem I am faced with daily is that technology is limited at my school and therefore a challenge to access on a daily basis for learning opportunities. My 6th graders attend a Title I school and some would say have a disadvantage in what they have access to due to their home lives. Nonetheless, the challenge and need is still there for them to learn in a new and refreshing way designed around today's digital learner.

My Project

With the assistance of Chromebooks in the classroom, students will have access to using these laptops throughout our school day and will dramatically change the way learning and collaboration takes place in my 6th graders' lives. With these types of laptops, my students will be able to utilize Google Apps for Education which foster the skills of collaboration, team building, problem solving, and college preparation on a daily basis. Students will also be able to learn at their own pace when using a Chromebook. By allowing this to happen, students will take greater pride and ownership with the content they create and will develop a positive digital footprint in this digital age we are so immersed in.

Donations to this request will help the students in my class in two ways.

One, my 6th graders will be faced with daily opportunities to understand how to be a positive digital citizen when online. And two, by utilizing these Chromebooks throughout the school day will help us be more environment friendly and get us that much closer to becoming a paperless classroom. I hope you consider my project as part of your donation to DonorsChoose. Thank you.
