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.
I teach grades 7-12 in a large city school. My school is 60% low income and is ethnically diverse. Five percent of students have special education plans which utilize inclusion and pull-out programs. At this time, there are approximately 1,000 students taking music classes. These classes include band, orchestra, choir, music theory, guitar and music appreciation.
Only a handful of students are able to participate in private lessons outside of school and many have limited exposure to professional performances.
I try to give my students everything they need to be successful in music. Working with my school community and grant writing is a very important part of my funding.
My Project
I need to learn how to integrate more iPad technology into my teaching. That is why an Apple Pencil is music to my ears. I have seen many teachers using iPad technology in front of the class. I believe that integrating more of these iPad technologies ideas into my choir classes would make me a better teacher.
An Apple Pencil will allow me to make notes on a digital score that my students then see projected on the screen.
There is so much potential to how an Apple Pencil can be used in the classroom. I would love to learn explore more and learn how I can use this technology as I teach!
