Mr. Guzman from Oakland CA is requesting technology through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

An Adventure to Become Digitally Literate

My students need chromebooks because technology is not just an event, it's just part of the everyday learning! Learning about computers is not the goal; learning through them is the key to meaningful learning!

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

I teach at an ethnically and linguistically diverse Title 1 school in East Oakland, California, where 99% of students receive free or reduced price lunch. All of my students speak Spanish at home, and in order to better serve our community, we are becoming a Dual Immersion school this year!

Room 101 is filled with the most brilliant second graders you'll ever meet.

Most students come from families with diverse support capacity access to resources for caregivers, and our school culture is oriented around ensuring that all our scholars are able to achieve their full potential. We value strong school-community relationships, and work together with parents/guardians to improve outcomes for every child.

As a tech leader in our school, I am determined to help our students develop tons of computing skills and give them the tools they need to lead the tech world in 10 years time! I also want to make sure that we have the tools to differentiate each student learning experience at their own learning pace. Help us make this dream true!

My Project

At our school, we are currently transitioning into a Dual Language model. This is, our students will eventually graduate bilingual and biliterate in English and Spanish, being fluent academically and college and career ready both in English and Spanish.. But that is not enough in the XXI century; there is another common language they will need to success in the future: they need to become digitally literate as well.

My wonderful second graders are ready to become leading citizens in our community.

However, they are challenged to become digitally experts outside the school. Unfortunately, we cannot offer the level of differentiation with our current equipment at our site either. We need more chromebooks to ensure the 1:1 ratio, so all of our students could operate in their own chromebook to make sure that they are internalizing their technology learning. But worry not. My students are lucky: their teacher is highly trained in Blended Learning and Digital Literacy. I have both the motivation and the knowledge to help them get there. We are only waiting for committed and caring people who can help them achieve their dreams!

Whether it is writing informational essays on google docs, learning to read through differentiating reading platforms, presenting content based projects on slides, learning typing skills, or staying curious by watching endless science and social studies educational videos, they need the means to access that knowledge; they need YOU. Investing in our kids means investing in our future.
