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

The Media Center is now on a fully online learning space. My students are stuck home, like everybody else, but many of my students have other families living with them in the same house. These kids have very limited access to computers and then the internet. That's why I work hard to make sure their remote learning and online experiences count.

Every cloud has a silver lining, and that's why I am super excited to engage with my students online.

Every day I produce and publish videos and tutorials for the approximately 1,000 students at our Elementary school. It's a considerable task to pull off. Each day students visit my classroom website, and they find personalized videos, resources, and activities I publish to keep them engaged throughout remote learning.

Can you help me to help them?

My Project

E-learning is an incredible opportunity for learning and I am super excited to engage with my students online.

Every day I produce videos and tutorials for the approximately 1,000 students at my school. It's a considerable task to pull off.

Technology can make or break e-learning and remote learning sessions.

Going live online to help students is daunting enough. Having access to better technology can make the experience better for all involved. To improve the audio of my live streams I'd love to have decent lighting. Better lighting makes content easier to see and helps make sessions more engaging for students.

Streaming live also means taking control of 'what' you stream. This is a challenge, especially when you have young students on the other side watching and listening. A digital switch can help to control what is broadcast using a simple touch to transition from one setting to another. This is a great way to switch from sharing a video or your desktop.
