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 Project

Imagine a classroom where students struggle to see or hear lessons clearly due to outdated technology. That’s our reality. Our current projection is outdated and doesn't give clear imaging, and we have no speaker system at all. This limits how students can engage in lessons (in all subjects!)—from watching educational videos to displaying student work clearly.

We are seeking an Apple TV and a quality sound bar system to modernize our classroom.

The Apple TV will allow me to wirelessly project lessons, presentations, and multimedia with much greater clarity. It will also give us flexibility to use technology without worrying about cords or compatibility. Paired with a sound bar, all students—whether they sit in the front or back—will be able to hear video content, read-alouds, virtual field trips, and more.

This upgrade will benefit students across all subject areas. Whether we're analyzing a documentary in social studies, watching a science experiment, or reviewing math strategies, having clear visuals and sound makes all the difference in comprehension and engagement. This project helps ensure no student misses out simply because they can’t see or hear.
