Help Make This Teacher a Youtuber for Spanish Only Students!

Help me give my students a camcorder. I will use it to make Youtube videos for them during the Covid-19 shutdown.

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

My students and I live in Jurupa Valley, California. I also grew up in the same neighborhoods as my students and went to the same school they have attended or will attend. I teach one "regular" 7th grade social studies class. With a group of great group of very diverse students. They are very eager to learn and love coming to my class. With the outbreak of Covid-19 the interaction with my students has become very limited.

My students are part of the Dual Immersion program wherein they learn English as well as Spanish and have been in the program since Kindergarten, they are a very close group, and are basically a family.

I get the honor of teaching these students two years since I am the only Social Studies Dual Immersion teacher. I get to grow very close to these students, who are in my class before school, during lunch during our Spanish club, and even after school. I can really say that they have made me a part of their big Dual Immersion family.

My Project

The Covid-19 shutdown has affected my students greatly. We have been out of school and it has been difficult to practice distance teaching. Although I have made use of Zoom and other digital resources, it has not been enough in order for my students learn properly. One of my students suggested that I make a youtube channel. I thought it was a great idea, so I made one. It has been a lot of fun making videos and my students absolutely love it. The channel is growing very quickly as other students have joined in the learning although they are not even my students.

It is particularly hard to find resources in Spanish for my students, so I have recently been making youtube videos for them.

However, with my old phone and lack of resources, the videos are pretty bad quality. I would love to get the camera I have asked for in order to make my videos more engaging, and also easier to upload, since with the lack of proper tools, it takes a long time to complete these videos. By helping me get this camera you would not only be helping my 150 students, but also students from around the country who only speak Spanish, who are watching my youtube videos. Thank you very much.
