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 kids are mostly descendants from immigrants who don't have enough resources to have computers at home to fulfill school requirements from research projects and math games. My kids get so excited about computers, but we are short of computers and they can only take tests and work on their projects at a certain time. For research projects, due to computer shortage, they can only do researches for 10 mins, and that is not enough time for kids that age. Only 20% of our kids are able to have computers at home to work on projects. The biggest chunk of researches goes on in my classroom. With so few computers, it is clear that we need at least one more. We have also, kids with special needs that require quite spaces to use technology so a laptop available will help them to work on our special quite space. A couple of laptops in our classroom can really improve my students learning effectiveness.
My Project
I decided to go for 2 laptops because my kids can work on their desks independently while I go and work with small groups. Kids treasure computer time and we only have 2 desktops that actually work. Being able to work on laptops gives them privacy and a sense of importance making them value their computer time even more.
Laptops are ideal for my special education kids too because it gives them a proper space to work independently on our financial programs without being distracted while being highly committed to finish their work.
We have awesome digital resources that can be easily acceded and with those those laptops we can help the visual kids that get contact knowledge visually more effectively that by regular instruction.
I can wait to see my kids's faces when those laptops arrive.
