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 enter my classroom this year, you will find a group of students who are welcoming, fun, energetic, and caring. You will also find a group of students who are incredibly eager to learn. Each one of them have enormous potential and are enthusiastic about what this school year has in store for them. With a lot of hard work, this year they will become readers, writers, mathematicians and much, much, more. However, finding, creating, and affording the tools and materials to keep them on task isn't always the easiest. In order grab and hold their attention, students at this age need to learn in ways that are most appealing to them. Being that our students these days are constantly engaging with technology outside of the classroom, why not bring technology into the classroom and use it for learning purposes!
My Project
"Research suggests that optimal learning happens when children have the opportunity to use multiple senses, such as sight, sound and touch." And believe it or not, technology can be the perfect tool for addressing each of these senses and providing students with hands on learning experiences. The students in my classroom would be provided access to these iPads on a daily basis during literacy centers, math centers, and choice time. They will have the opportunity to learn their letters, numbers, and much more through engaging games and activities that will make them want to continue their learning. The use of these iPads will also allow my students to receive instruction that is tailored toward their individual needs, thus enriching their learning and boosting achievement.
