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
My students are funny, caring, unique and inquisitive about everything. Our school is a downtown school that serves mostly free or reduced price lunch students. We are an International Baccalaureate school and we have high expectations that students will make a positive impact in their world regardless of where they come from. Our diverse population teaches our students to become global citizens.
I encourage and challenge my students to be the best person at home, at school and in their community.
My Project
My class is very students driven. The other day I asked my students what would they like to see in their classroom, most of them agreed they would like to see more technology. Many of my students lack the opportunity to use an iPad at home.
Additional class iPads would give my students the opportunity to build their collaboration skills, advance technology skills and grow language skills in a new creative way.
My students will be able to use the iPad to create Google Docs. I can see it now, students having writing conferences with each other through the iPad. Group collaboration presentations being edited on iMovie. A student practicing his or her multiplication facts.
With your support my students could have access to a class iPad.
More than half of students from low‑income households
