My students are all first or second-generation immigrants in Texas still struggling with the realities of a new country and different language. Coming from very hard-working but, maybe precisely because of it, mostly absent parents, they rely on the school to provide even the most basic education. Our school is the center of their world, and it's here where they eat at least two of their daily meals, here where they do their homework in the afternoon and here where they find a safer place to play afterschool. Most of my students don't have access to a computer or Internet or similar technologies at home, so experiencing digital media and hardware in the classroom is their only contact to the realities in the modern workplace. My students are very eager and curious. They learn fast and ask for more. Without having ever done it before, they are are soon creating PowerPoint presentations, exchanging academic information with me through sites like Edmodo and operating my Smartboard.
