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.
My Project
The PlayStation 5, is a cutting-edge technology with a diverse range of games. My students will have the opportunity to explore interactive and educational content. The educational games and activities on the console will contribute to the development of cognitive and analytical skills. Strengthening skills through play is a proven strategy to help kids learn. For kids with disabilities, video games can offer opportunities to practice everything from communication skills to organization even social interaction in a comfortable environment where players set the pace. Games that use visual storytelling, social modeling, and language patterns can help kids with speaking, listening, and communicating. The game Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes is a game were students can learn about problem-solving and teamwork in this bomb-defusing simulation game. Players have to communicate quickly, clearly, and effectively to solve puzzles.
Developing new routines, transitioning activities, and managing time are challenges for kids who struggle with executive functioning skills.
Games that emphasize visual scheduling and break big jobs into smaller tasks can help.
Many of our students come from low-income households, facing various challenges that can limit their exposure to technology and extracurricular activities.
I am always seeking innovative ways to enhance educational opportunities for our students. I want every student to feel included and supported in my classroom.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
