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

If you give a learner a mouse they will be able to move their cursor more easily.

If the student can move their cursor more easily they can answer questions more accurately.

If the students answer their questions more accurately then their teachers will know what the kids have learned.

At our school in San Antonio, Texas, our students use computers on a daily basis. They use computers for daily work, projects, and even state assessments. Even though the students have mouse pads on their computers, they still have difficulty navigating the on-screen cursor. If every student had access to their own mouse, they could navigate more easily and spend more time showing what they know and less time trying to move the cursor around.
