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

Our 7th grade English students are full of creativity and ideas—they just need the right tools to bring them to life. A new iPad would allow students to create multimedia projects like video essays, digital storybooks, and podcasts that connect what we read to the world around them. It would also support learners who benefit from audio, visual, and interactive tools. Many of our students don’t have access to this kind of technology at home, so having an iPad in class would give everyone an equal chance to engage, create, and shine. Help us make learning more dynamic and equitable!
