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

In an effort to incorporate technology into my lessons, I believe that an ipad will empower students to be self-directed and collaborative learners. Incorporating devices like iPads in the classroom can be a great technique in capturing their attention and bolstering student participation. The tablet design encourages students to take an active role in their learning, while also providing endless opportunities to express themselves creatively.

iPads are not only a great vehicle of education, but they help students gain confidence and skills that will help them thrive in all areas of life.

They offer a diverse scope of learning structures and can support children who struggle with traditional teaching methods. As students utilize the ipad to record themselves presenting their yearly research projects they will gain public speaking skills that will help propel them forward. The confidence that will come from being comfortable with speaking in front of others is a valuable tool which will help them beyond school and into the workforce.
