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.
Never has society so rapidly changed. Technology invades every corner of our lives. How can we pretend to educate the citizens of tomorrow without the proper equipment? Children should have equal access to computers and use these tools to enhance their skills. Unfortunately, I only have two stations that are so old that our district decided they wouldn't repair them anymore. One can't shut down, the other struggles to open any new window... We need at least one up-to-date machine.
My public school tries to offer the best to our kids who come from economically disadvantaged families. 75% of our students are African American alongside with Latin and Asian children. This situation offers unlimited opportunities to learn tolerance and team work while discovering new perspectives. However, our school and our families can't afford the sources we need to support academic knowledge and significantly improve student achievement.
The new PC will enable students to access my website where I posted my video-lessons for review, practice games I created, and take quizzes. I could follow their progress as they will be working independently. The station will also help students to review vocabulary through slide shows. This will familiarize them with PowerPoint and motivate them to create their own. Children may take turn writing letters or researching for a report. The speed of this new machine will allow more students to work at it. This computer would definitely make a difference in the class!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
