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 district is a large district of the state and the school is one of the poorest in the district with little room for additional classroom needs. We have students who have little desire to learn because it is not engaging or worthwhile. Yet, even so, these students have so much potential. I believe that if I am able to engage them than they will not only begin to learn but have potential to accomplish so much more than they believe.
My students are incredibly street smart and can problem solve outside of the classroom, as many of them are taking care of themselves and siblings.
This means that when they are in my class, not doing the work, it is because I have either not explained it well or they are not applying themselves because they do not have motivation. I believe that they are truly capable of being internally motivated if only given the proper push and tools.
My Project
We live in a world filled with technology. Our students have grown up using smartphones and computers. The days of them using only pencil and paper are gone. This does not mean they never need to touch those tools again, but there are new ways to teach writing to my students.
These Chromebooks will allow me to teach my students in a way that is both necessary and familiar to them.
So often, our students lack the ability to write. We are a low-income school that cannot afford to buy class sets of laptops even though our students need them just as much, if not more than others who can afford it. My students will be able to write rough drafts by hand or type them then convert them to the computer. This will allow them to learn how to write the old-fashioned way and the way they are used to learning.
