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
The students in my room are very diligent students who are constantly striving to do their very best and to accomplish their goals. Many of them are second language learners and appreciate the benefits of attending a school where academics are of the highest priority. They are always seeking to gain new information and to learn new things. With responsibilities at home that limit their time to explore subjects and to master skills, they appreciate a classroom where they are given liberty to improve in all subject areas. The more materials in the classroom, which help in this area, the more they will learn and improve in all areas. Our school loves to facilitate learning. As their teacher, I want them to love to learn and have the confidence and self-motivation to strive for their best.
My Project
MacBooks will allow my 21st-century learners the opportunity to explore and create projects using the iMovie application. With iMovie, students can upload content and edit video projects. These projects are based upon various subject areas. Students type scripts for acting out during their filming time. They then are able to edit and produce a short film to showcase learning. There are so many creative ways my students can express their understanding through iMovie.
Technology integration is very important in my classroom and helps make teaching and learning more meaningful and fun.
I infuse digital learning tools and technology to build their 21st-century skills. Our classroom environment allows students to be productive and engaged at all times. Technology allows us to work on projects that promote independence and collaborative work with their peers.
I believe that by providing these 21st-century skills to my students they will have a powerful learning tool within their reach and this, in turn, will prepare them for the future.
More than half of students from low‑income households
