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
As a teacher in a middle/low income school district, my students are a mix of varying abilities. My students come from all different backgrounds which creates for a very cultural classroom. Learning for some, comes as a difficulty for them yet they are all motivated to become better students and successful members of society.
My school is a Pre-K to 8th grade school with little to no use of technology in the classroom.
I love using technology in the classroom and my students are always trying to find ways for them to use it as well. My students love to challenge themselves and reach goals that they would never expect to achieve. The minute they walk into my room they know that whatever is going on outside the classroom, our room is a place for them solely to focus on themselves. They want to become functional members of society and strive to become the best versions of themselves.
My Project
As society is changing into a technologically advanced society students need to be able to be equipped with the knowledge of how to use technology appropriately and effectively.
The goal of this project is to provide students in my class access to technology for research, writing, and activities to perform independently in the classroom and become technological members of society.
I feel my students will benefit from iPads greatly because they will be able to access tools that they will need outside the classroom. It will give the students an opportunity to publish their writing and create a piece that they are proud of. As well as being able to listen to books being read to them and comprehending books on a deeper level. iPads would change the dynamic of the classroom and change the way students are able to perform outside the classroom in the future.
More than half of students from low‑income households
