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
Our school is located in Morris Heights in the Bronx. This is a Title I school where most students are entitled to free lunches. We serve over 600 students between grades pre-k and five.
Our students live in the information age, but not all of them have access to computers or the internet at home.
They enjoy coming to school to learn how to navigate the internet and to use technology. It is of the utmost importance, then that these students have access to working technology.
My Project
Over 600 students in our school take turns using the Apple iPads to gain access to our online e-library where thousands of books are stored. New apple iPads will replace our aging collection of iPads and give hundreds of students opportunities to use technology which they simply don't have access to at home.
Our e-library collection and the iPads are especially attractive to our large population of students ESL students who are learning English for the first time.
Many of these immigrants are also learning how to use technology for the first time and their attraction to the e-books keeps them engaged and learning.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
