My students need a projector to display and present their projects. They need USB headphones so that all students can engage on the computer. They also need audio adapters to use be able to hear.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Khalid's classroom raised $571
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
My students are urban scholars that have so much potential without the resources to match. While the neighborhood they live in has been developing, many of the resources have not reached the sections where their families reside. They are inquisitive students that range in age and ability. My students enjoy learning and have different learning styles. They love to use computers when they come to school because many do not have access at home. Some of my students can tell you about the latest video games or what Apps they use on their parent's smartphones, while others have a television set as their most advanced technology.
When there is a challenge, that is when my students really come to life.
It is a joy to see them deep in thought or trying to discover something new. Many of my students have special needs and require accommodations for learning. Although my students can get easily distracted, they do not let that keep them from trying out new technology in the classroom. They rely upon one another to learn how to use and solve problems with technology in class. My students learn that if they work hard, greatness will be the outcome.
My Project
The use of a projector will allow my students to present their technology projects from any device (computer, smart phone, tablet, etc...). My students will use their new headphones to hear and learn information using our current technology. Research is an important part of the learning in our classroom, because it opens the door for students to seek out information on their own using technology. Next, my students will create projects on their research topics. Once students have completed their projects they will be able to use the projector to present what they learn.
I want to foster not only a culture for learning in my classroom, but a culture of understanding, creating and sharing the information they learn with others.
The new technology we are requesting will do just that. The adapters will allow my students to access information on computers that they could not use in the past due to the lack of headphone jacks. The new headphones will allow students at varying ability levels to access information on the computers that do not currently have headphones. They will be able to hear information without distractions.
All of my students will be able to work to create research projects using the information they learned, even those with limited reading ability. My students will develop their speaking and presenting skills through the use of the projector. These are skills that my students will be able to use in college, careers and throughout their lives.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
