Learning Digital Literacy Skills: Independent Learning and Collaboration
Help me give my students access to five Chromebooks and headphones. My goal is to continue to develop digital literacy skills with all of my students including ESOL and those with varying abilities.

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 Students
Being admitted to a vibrant and creative art school is not the easiest thing to do. While aware of the school's low acceptance rate, thousands of prospective students are competing for the spot!
Located in the middle of Wynwood's Art District in Miami, this school is THE place to be!
I am privileged to teach the most talented and diverse students in Miami!
The violas, cellos, pianos, violins, and saxophones- all are playing their instruments in syncopation. The chorus rooms are filled with beautiful voices and as I peek through the dance studio's window, I can see the ballet dancers gracefully dancing en pointe.
In addition to their extraordinary talents, my students have varying abilities and they learn in an all-inclusive, safe environment. From English as a Second Language to gifted and those with varying disabilities, they engage in cooperative learning and everyone is accepted. When they walk into my class, they are always eager to know what they will learn that day.
My Project
This year, in addition to teaching 6th and 7th graders, I am teaching 9th and 10th grade Intensive Reading. My goal is to use online programs that will give my students the tools they need to foster a love for reading and writing.
The five Chromebooks and headphones will help make a difference in my students' learning by giving those with varying abilities an opportunity to work independently and in groups using online programs that promote literacy and writing.
The students use the compuHaving an entire class set of computers will also help me to eliminate the use of cellphones and reduce the distractions they receive every time they are completing their online assignments. The computers are set up and monitored to ensure that all students are on task.
