Creating Global Citizens Through the Use of Technology
My students need to expand their world and knowledge through the use of a document camera, projector and interactive white board system.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Daley's classroom raised $957
This project is fully funded
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
Google, Microsoft, Apple...oh my! Help bring technology into our classroom. Technology is the future and by giving my kids access to a projector, document camera and interactive camera you are helping them have a brighter future as well.
I currently have the pleasure of teaching 30 beautiful, smart second graders.
My students attend a bilingual dual immersion school in California and our school district serves lower socioeconomic families. My students are fluent in both Spanish and English and we spend half our day speaking Spanish and half in English. Our theme for the year is Global Citizenship and exploring our world. My students love learning about geography, different cultures, customs and traditions. They are hungry for knowledge and desire to grow and be good people more than anything. We love to do art and we use a lot of music during our time together. We are a family and every morning when we enter we recite a part of our creed. "Estoy chiquito pero puedo hacer cosas grandes" which means "I am little but I can do big things". My students face many challenges yet they are always eager to learn and I have no doubt my students will be the future leaders of not only our community, but our world.
My Project
In our classroom, there are Spanish Language learners and English learners. Technology is a great way to give my kids access to content and give them the best education possible. I plan on using the projector, document camera and interactive whiteboard to help my students connect with material. I plan on using all of these products daily to show videos of what we are learning, put interactive charts and pictures on my boards so we can label vocabulary and use the projector to have my students give presentations to build their public speaking and self confidence. For some of my kids, the world seems really small, consisting of their home and school. With access to technology, media, visuals my students can interact with things that are outside their world. We will be looking at Google earth, photos, landmarks, videos of different cultures and even looking up words we don't know. For example, last week my students didn't know the word 'garage' because in our community many don't have one.
This project is so important to me and is so important for my students because in order to be a global citizen my students need exposure to technology and need to use and interact with technology.
Due to socioeconomic circumstances my students do not have access to technology. My students are brilliant and deserve equal opportunities as their peers in more affluent schools. By giving to this project you'll be making content accessible to my students and also giving them to opportunity to succeed.
More than half of students from low‑income households
