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
Our students are typical teens and preteens. They love sports and video games. The latest music can be heard playing on their phones before school. Most are from second language learning families. Working class parents come to meetings always eager to see how they can help their children have the best learning opportunities.
They love technology but don't always see how it can be used to help their education.
You see them snapping and chatting, following each other’s tweets and liking different posts. What they are missing is how technology can enhance their learning; both by making it fun and giving them more connections to their learning.
My Project
In a classroom (or home) of students on electronic devices, it is imperative for teachers to be able to observe each student's work and be able to help shape their learning and understanding. With an I-pad, I will be able to use my computer as the lesson basis (either, projected in class or via online learning), while using the I-pad to view student work as they go.
By giving them immediate feedback, either individually or as a class, students will be able to refine any work that is headed the wrong way or have validation in their current ability.
In math, one of the things I encounter often is, "Am I doing this right?" With the help of the second screen, I will be able to check many students at once and give faster feedback to them.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
