Conectando Idiomas: Tech for English Language Learners

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

As an elementary school teacher, I am dedicated to creating an inclusive and engaging learning environment, especially for my English language learners (ELLs). A new laptop would be a game-changer for my students, providing them with essential digital tools to build language skills, confidence, and academic success.

With an updated laptop, I can:

✅ Use interactive language-learning programs to support vocabulary and comprehension

✅ Provide real-time translation tools to help bridge language gaps

✅ Access read-aloud and speech-to-text features to support emerging readers and writers

✅ Create engaging multimedia lessons with visuals, videos, and interactive activities tailored to diverse learning needs

✅ Offer differentiated instruction and personalized digital resources for students at various language proficiency levels

Many of my students don’t have access to technology at home, making classroom access to these tools even more critical. With your support, I can ensure they receive the language support they need to thrive academically and build the communication skills that will empower them for life.

Every donation, big or small, brings us closer to providing these young learners with the resources they need to succeed. Thank you for your kindness and generosity!
