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 Project

My students deserve a teacher who is organized and prepared to help them on their educational journey. The iPad Pro would allow me to have everything I need at my fingertips. My planner, my lesson plans, my resources, my curriculum, anecdotal notes, learning platforms and apps, professional development sessions, and notes. This would allow me to maximize instructional time since I would have all my resources in one mobile place instead of being tied down to a desktop.

The iPad Pro would allow me to have the digital tools necessary to grow professionally and be a more effective teacher.

I would use the iPad Pro to create amazing resources for my students. My goal is for them to have a digital interactive reading and math notebook as well as review booklets for the various units we learn about. I would include vocabulary activities, anchor charts, examples, and reading selections. This technology would allow my students to have all the necessary materials to reach their academic goals. It would also allow me to monitor, track, and document my students' growth and needs. Having the iPad Pro, keyboard, and stylus would help guide my teaching and help me develop into a better teacher.
