Debate for Democracy Ap Gov Presentation Challenge

Help me give my students access to the technology they need to succeed.

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

My students need greater access to technology to prepare class presentations and participate in competitions. Each year, we hold a school-wide debate between 11th and 12th graders to help them practice argumentative skills for the AP exam. Students are expected to create slides or short videos to present to a live audience. With this laptop, they will be able to complete and edit their work during class, collaborate with peers, and share their videos with students in other classes rather than relying on limited after-school access at the school library.
