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

Our school's amazing student journalists have a vision for the multimedia reporting they want to bring to our campus through our nascent student news website. They envision video packages, slideshows, and podcasts that beautifully depict and add commentary to our school's thriving academic, sports, and arts communities.

This project will provide students the technology resources they need to collect high quality audio, conduct interviews, and develop podcasts to support their photography and writing.

With the headphones and voice recorder, students will be able to strengthen the quality of our website and reporting and draw in new readers and listeners.
