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

My students are urban scholars that have so much potential without the resources to match. While the neighborhood they live in has been developing, many of the resources have not reached the sections where their families reside. They are inquisitive students that range in age and ability. My students enjoy learning and have different learning styles. They love to use computers when they come to school because many do not have access at home. Some of my students can tell you about the latest video games or what Apps they use on their parent's smartphones, while others have a television set as their most advanced technology.

When there is a challenge, that is when my students really come to life.

It is a joy to see them deep in thought or trying to discover something new. Many of my students have special needs and require accommodations for learning. Although my students can get easily distracted, they do not let that keep them from trying out new technology in the classroom. They rely upon one another to learn how to use and solve problems with technology in class. My students learn that through active listening there is a pathway toward learning.

My Project

My students enjoy using the computers and other audio technology, however their activities are limited because they cannot use sound without disturbing one another. If my students had earphones, they would be able to engage with software, videos, and audiobooks independently. My students would be able to hear video tutorials, learn foreign languages and access academic areas that they are weak in. Some of my students are nonreaders. With earphones, these students can participate in reading activities using audiobooks, and online reading software.

With new earphones, all of my students will be able to listen and learn.

They will have the benefit of receiving immediate audio feedback when they are working on the computer. They will be able to research using video and audio resources. They will be able to access the academic programs we use fully. Lastly, this technology will remove barriers and allow all of my students to have the maximum engagement in the classroom.
