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

In my classroom, I strive to create an environment where every student is inspired to learn, create, and think critically. Access to modern technology can make that possible—but right now, we’re missing the tools that truly support 21st-century learning.

With the Apple 13-inch iPad Pro (M4 chip) and Logitech Combo Touch keyboard case, my students will have access to an incredibly powerful learning device that supports both academic and creative skills.

This iPad will allow students to:

Use educational apps to build skills in reading, math, science, and writing

Research and collaborate on group projects using reliable, fast technology

Create digital art, videos, podcasts, and presentations

Write and edit with ease using the detachable keyboard and trackpad

Access accessibility tools that support diverse learning needs

The iPad’s larger screen and advanced processing power will make multitasking smoother, especially for projects that require video editing, design work, or screen-sharing during lessons. The Logitech Combo Touch case will turn the iPad into a laptop-style device, making it ideal for typing assignments, managing documents, and navigating apps with precision.

This technology will be used daily and shared among students during centers, group work, and independent study. It will bring a whole new level of engagement and capability to our classroom.

Thank you for supporting our students and helping us bring powerful, flexible learning to life.
