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
We were supposed to start classes September the 5th at our elementary school. I met my new first graders for the first time on August 31, 2017, at our annual "Meet and Greet the Teacher ." When my students entered our classroom, it was all decorated and ready for learning.
After Hurricane Harvey, my classroom is gone, my school is being taken apart and we are being relocated to another school that is 7 miles away than the original placement.
When I first met my students, they appeared to be energetic and eager to learn. Most of my students are having bad experiences after the hurricane, and I would like them to have an enjoyable and fun year of learning in our class. They come from low income families and they are part of a dual language program.
My Project
I am asking for an iPad and an Apple TV. With these resources my students will be able to follow along the lesson with the teacher. This will increase their efficiency and will allow them to complete more complex projects using a projector and an Apple TV wirelessly connected to the iPad.
My students will be more effective with the help of the Apple TV visually following the lesson on the projector after seeing the teacher's models as their guide.
They will also be able to get involved in complex creative projects using iMovie and Garage Band.
It is difficult for students to create these technology-based projects without the proper modeling. Currently, if the teacher wanted to model something on the SMART board it takes about 10 minutes to disconnect and reconnect iPads and dongles and the connection is not always reliable. By the time the teacher is able to connect her iPad, their attention has waned and too much instructional time has been wasted.
With an Apple TV, the teacher will be able to seamlessly model lessons on her iPad without losing class time.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
