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 Students

"There are many little ways to enlarge your child’s world. Love of books is the best of all." –Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Technology is particularly useful in a special education classroom because the variety of students and their differing learning needs can be met.

We are a Title I middle school, which means we receive federal funds to help improve academic achievement of disadvantaged kids.

Due to the location of the school, the majority of students do not have access to technology in their households. They are struggling to have their basic needs met. The students in my special education Language Arts class are all 8th graders and have disabilities that include Specific Learning Disabled, Autism, Dyslexia, and Emotionally Disturbance. There are currently 34 students that would be positively impacted by the technology this DonorsChoose project enables. However, future years of students will also have access to it. With patience and technology, my students are able to make gains in their reading and writing skills. Also, the access to technology enables them to become empowered learners. It is incredible to watch their self-esteem rise as they express their knowledge of a book or learn a new iPad application.

My Project

In response to the Common Core Curriculum standards addressing that special education students need to engage in reading all types of texts (from informational to fiction) and to instill a love of reading, students will independently read a book of their choice and share it with the class through the use of iPad applications. We are in need of two more iPads to make this possible. Once students have completed reading their books (through nightly reading logs that are assigned as homework and silent reading time in class) they will use applications and programs on their iPads to share the book with their peers. The Adobe Voice application makes an amazing animated video about their book, the iMovie program allows them to digitally tell the story of their book. The Keynote program enables them to produce a magazine cover with subsequent articles regarding both characters and themes from their book.

I observe kids struggle with learning and ultimately lose confidence in their own reading and writing abilities on a daily basis.

Technology has established a way for them to access education and make meaningful gains! It is truly a blessing for those who struggle with motivation to keep learning, and it empowers them to become self-advocates for their own education. This project will allow them to share their love of a book with their peers and increase confidence within themselves.
