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
My students are on an Individual Education Plan for math. They struggle with comprehending simple math equations. They struggle with seeing the importance of how math is incorporated into real life situations
I teach at a Title One middle school in an urban neighborhood.
74% of our students qualify for free or reduced rate lunch and many come from very technology-poor homes. My students love technology and topics where they can discuss issues and express opinions. My school lacks the technology to meet my students’ needs and I am concerned that their lack of exposure will not prepare them for the technology fluency requirements in high school. My goal is to create a classroom environment where students are motivated by technology to improve their mathematical comprehension skills.
My Project
Students will be using the requested Chromebook to increase the rigor in their academic setting by researching and applying solutions to real-world problems and challenges. This experience will be student-directed, cross-curricular, experiential, and hands-on through Project-Based Learning frameworks.
The Chromebook will be used with the PBL framework to give students the opportunity to explore, interpret, and construct solutions to the real-world challenges that are relevant and support global mindedness.
Access to this type of experience is nearly impossible without current technology tools. With a Chromebook, students will use Web 2.0 education tools to research, evaluate information, construct viable solutions, and communicate new learning through multi-media applications. Using current technology to support multi-faceted projects that connect to difficult but real challenges will be a highly effective and meaningful way to open our students' minds to the world they will inherit.
Everyday, the transition into the digital age is increasingly evident. Our students will thrive in a technology-supported environment where in-depth exploration of authentic and important topics are at the forefront. Without current technology tools, we are limiting the experiences our students need to be successful over the next 10 years of their academic careers. The donation of a Chromebook to the school would be invaluable and met with considerable gratitude.
More than half of students from low‑income households
