it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
I teach a diverse group of artistic students at a Title I visual and performing arts school in downtown Los Angeles. Students come from all over the city to our public high school to receive a top notch education in both academics and their chosen art form (music, dance, visual arts or theater) and go on to study at some of the top academic colleges and art schools across the country.
I am always looking for ways to motivate my students in my classroom with innovative and exciting learning opportunities.
My Project
The 3 requested chromebooks will be put to good use in my classroom and will help to build a class set I am slowly working towards. I have been redesigning my chemistry curriculum to be aligned with NGSS and the topics are much more engaging, real-life, and work perfectly with chromebooks.
In my class, students will use the requested chromebooks to read articles about environmental issues such as alternative energy and water contamination, research for in-class debates, and develop projects through Google about ideal waste management programs and chemistry games related to the environment.
Additionally, the chromebooks allow us to integrate art into our classroom, an essential piece with our arts high school. With the chromebooks, students will design videos, research science topics to turn into visual arts pieces and find inspiration for the application of art into our project-based learning. These topics and opportunity in my classroom with the chromebooks will allow my students to get create and integrate STEM with the arts.
I am trying to build a classroom set of chromebooks for my students and your donation will go a long way! Thank you for your consideration to our amazing classroom.
