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

We just got a Promethean board in my English Language Arts class -woohoo!- but the sound leaves something to be desired. This sound bar is specifically made to go with the Promethean board and will help project sound to all 38 of my students without having to turn the volume up to max, which distorts the sound.

Not only do we watch video clips to enhance the literature and non-fiction that we read, but we also watch student-made videos, so this ActivSoundBar for the Promethean board will make a big difference.

It will be nice to turn on the captions because we WANT to, not because we HAVE to! Student-made videos don't even have captions, so better quality sound is a must!
