Celebrating 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
I would like a new laptop with the most current software for the online academic programs that we use to help students get back on track to graduate on time.
We utilize Google Meet often and split screens that are easy to manipulate on Macs.
I also run an SEL program in my school and would love to attach my computer to a variety of devices in the school to bring SEL programs to multiple spots in the building. We have students who come in at all times of the day just to destress and use my computer to sit in a quiet spot to recenter themselves.
Lastly, I would like a computer on which I can download the latest software. I would like to download Microsoft on the computer for files that need to be put in that format, and for the students to use the computer as another device for school work.
