Celebrating 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

We are in an urban setting in a public school in the capitol city. Funding for technology is a challenge. Despite the yearly mandates to include more technology in class daily. As a result, we are forced to share technology school wide. Needless to say, this a great challenge especially for young third graders just learning how to type or get their hands on technology, many for the first time. Yet, they are still eager and excited when given the opportunity and rise to the challenge always.

My Project

We may be in an old historic city, in an old historic building, in an old classroom but that doesn't mean that our classroom technology has to be old! We are in need of an ambush technology makeover. Right now, we have four outdated desktops that often drop in and out of our network which makes it difficult to print. So please help us make over our technology.

By helping us obtain 5 HP Chromebooks and a secure charge charging station, you will help us with day to day technology and district assessments.

We will set the Chromebooks up with Google Chrome which will make printing much easier for all projects. The Chromebooks will get daily use in English Language Arts for our listening station, to do word work and work on writing activities, and to master decoding strategies. We will use them to create online learning portfolios that we can share with our families and classmates, as well.

Finally, we will use the Chromebooks for Math, Science, Social Studies projects, center activities and learning games. The five Chromebooks will afford us the ability to make a rotating station so all students get their turn and opportunity.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
