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.
I am the proud art teacher to an amazing group of students in grades K-5 in the inner city of Paterson, NJ. My students are the most wonderful and talented children I have ever had the pleasure of working with!
Most of my students are bilingual, some who are first generation here in Paterson.
Although I don't speak their language fluently, these kind children help each other and me understand.
They are quite a special group of children and I am so inspired by their hard work and perseverance.
My Project
I would love to have a MacBook to assist me with accessing a wider variety of professional development as well as opportunities in and using current technology. Currently, the technology I have is just not enough. My computer is very unreliable and insufficient for my professional needs. Apple has always been the number one choice in the arts community and being an art teacher who also has a certificate in Desktop Publishing, I am in desperate need of access to all the most effective information and professional learning for the benefit of my students.
Especially during this time of uncertainty as we are moving towards home instruction, having the technology I need to better myself professionally will help my students grow and learn.
A MacBook would allow me to access Apple's Education modules on the web. Apple offers and has many online courses through iTunes U and podcasts that can help me benefit my students. By having a MacBook, it would allow me to participate in webinars, creative software and have access to educational apps. My goal is to further build my knowledge and use of the newest creative technology as a part of my instruction so that I can provide a diverse learning environment that is crucial to all my students' various learning needs.
