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

When you walk into my classroom, you would have seen my students working in pairs, in small groups and there is definitely a buzz. With the social-distancing protocols, this will not be possible. You will see students working on Chromebooks, iPad minis, and even personal smartphones. My students are used to using many different modalities to demonstrate their understanding. More than half of the students in our school come from low-income homes.

My students are a group of seventh and eighth graders who are English-language learners and Spanish-language learners.

They have been learning both languages since kindergarten in our school, which is a K-8 grade school model.

My Project

I have found that some students shy away from sharing their "traditional" work, but when offered technology they jump at the opportunity to display or share what they have done. The iPad Pro's larger screen and the pencil will motivate many of my students. Because I have students with different learning styles and needs, this tool will benefit them. Students will be able to take notes while reading a science article on the other side of the screen. They can create a presentation while watching a picture-in-picture video on the same topic. They will be able to write an essay while viewing the cited sources. They will also be able to read feedback from the teacher while making corrections to a project.

In our classroom, it is all about learning.

Pedagogy is the driver. Technology is the accelerator. The iPad Pro has a beautiful large screen. It is significantly faster. The iPad Pro we have in the classroom is a first-generation iPad. It is in need of replacement. The iPad Pro in the classroom is not a personal device. It’s a device for learning. It’s a device for sharing. It’s a device for collaboration. It’s a device for creativity.
