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 am a Spanish teacher in the public schools. I teach 170 students each day. My school prepares my students in the health and human services field. It is a high need school and most students receive free or reduced lunch.
My students enjoy technology lessons, but these are very limited since students have limited computer usage in the school. My students get some technology lessons, but I want to exposed them to more technology, especially desingning a small language lab in the classroom. There are so many activities that I want to do with them, but without the resources this is very impossible.
At the present moment my students have one netbook to use in my classroom of 34 students. My goal is to get 2 more netbooks so I can begin developing a small language lab that students can utilize to gain better listening skills using audio books and the online internet stories/pronunciation practice. The skills that they will acquire will help them for their Spanish language lab college courses. If I prepare them beforehand, students will enter college with a better understanding and concept of listening skills. Since the netbook does not have a cd/dvd drive, I am requesting this drive so that my students can use Spanish dictionary, games and pronunciation software and many more Spanish cd rom activities. Student will be taking countless pictures and describing them in Spanish and doing oral presentations. Creating, editing and writing their own Spanish videos will also be implemented. For these activities, students will need to use the media card reader to present their pictures and short videos. A wireless mouse will make it easier to navigate the netbook and the foil stars will be to reward them for their efforts each day. Using all these media equipment will enhance their learning.
You will make it possible for my students to acquire 2 netbooks for better listening skills, creating videos and photo projects for a class of 34. Technology is so important in High School and this will definitely prepare them for college. All students deserve this opportunity. Your contribution to my project is greatly appreciated since the youth are the future of tomorrow.
