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 today's world, reliable technology has become a crucial and important component of teaching and learning. Currently, I have an older computer that works very slow and has difficulty with many online programs. I teach math and computer science and need a reliable computer to plan lessons, engage with students, and for professional learning opportunities I attend on my off time. I am also currently in a doctoral program pursuing a degree in educational leadership which requires reliable technology. I plan to continue my education in order to best serve the students I encounter in years to come.

Being able to get a reliable, faster, and more efficient computer will make my teaching and instruction more effective, and as a result, my students will reap the benefits.

I teach very difficult and important STEM subjects: Middle School Math, Algebra, 10th Gradre Geometry, and Business Technology. Being that they are STEM subjects, it is imperative that I have the right technology tools during to teach my students the concepts explicitly, research digital resources and programs to supplement their learning, and communicate with both my students and parents. Some of my students struggle with their learning due to the wide range of learning styles and/or English proficiency levels. In order to effectively meet their individual learning needs, provide differentiated and individualized instruction in small groups and/or whole group, and communicate with students and parents, it is important that I have access to reliable technology in order to meet their needs with ease.

Please help me with funding my project so I can have a better, faster, and more reliable computer.
