My students need access to a fully integrated and technological classroom ecosystem for projects and day-to-day activities!
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Gonzalez's classroom raised $204
This project is fully funded
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 Students
Not only do we teach classic literature, reading, writing, math, science, history; we teach students how to prepare for careers in the business and tourism industry sectors. Our juniors desire to have more content related to business to empower them for entrepreneurship and marketing careers.
Our students are a close knit community from a variety of backgrounds who have embraced our school mission and emphasis to integrate business and tourism into the curriculum.
Every week, it is commonplace for our students to be dressed professionally, but it is also clear that they exceed professionalism in appearance as they pursue professional conduct in and outside of class during discussions, projects, field trips, athletics and in the community. Often times, it is difficult to distinguish the students from the staff because of how maturely they present themselves on campus.
Additionally, each semester students engage in a project-based learning interdisciplinary project related to business and tourism, and during their final presentations or showcase, I can not emphasize how proud I am of their success and learning. These students will be ahead of their peers because of their commitment to learning, professionalism and our community.
My Project
As a project-based learning school, my students are always working on entrepreneurial projects using Google apps and more. Our school was built before Bluetooth technology and one of the gaps in our classroom ecosystem is sound. I was able to purchase Apple TV two years ago, but when projecting from laptops we can not link the sound wirelessly.
Google Home would allow us to connect sound during presentations and utilize the Q&A feature during discussions and learning centers.
Specifically, I am eager to use Google Home the next time we enter our current Music Analysis unit. This last year, we analyzed popular rap lyrics in discussions and writing. Being that music changes every year, Google Home would allow us to ask the simple questions that I may not be familiar with when discussing a current artists or lyrics. Additionally, when discussing music during Socratic seminars, we can have the songs played as we discuss. Google Home would take our classroom ecosystem to the next level.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
