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

I teach technology in grades Pre-K through 8th in an urban community with many challenges including limited materials and poverty. In addition, many of my students are bilingual and newcomers to this country. 100% of our students qualify for free breakfast and lunch.

Regardless of the challenges my students face, I need to make sure they are in a position to be successful, and this includes staying current on best practices as it relates to instructional technology.

This goal is essential in not only being a lifelong learner but also improving the quality of teaching and learning in my classroom.

My Project

Working from home is challenging and I've pushed my current teaching supplies to the limit. I teach technology and our students learn through many platforms that involve continual student / teacher interaction throughout the day.

In order to be able to continue engage with my students and provide meaningful, rigorous, interactive lessons I need adequate and reliable technology.

I need an iPad Pro to meet the virtual and social emotional learning needs of my students during distance teaching and learning. I can use an iPad to not only improve the level of interaction with my students but as a device to help me meet my professional development obligations that will help me grow as an educator.
