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

My students definitely keep me on my toes. Opportunities such as collaboration, critical thinking, communication, and creativity are offered through the use of LEGO. LEGO can support active learning in multiple ways by: encouraging students to engage with, reflect on and experiment with ideas and experiences. Building and working collaboratively involves rearranging furniture, moving around and using floor space, shifting the students’ focus away from screens, notes and the lecturer providing focus for cooperative learning as bricks reshape interactions between students. Discussions take place while students focus on playing and making with their hands. Debate, reflection and analysis are mediated by the bricks allowing ideas to be communicated nonverbally through building and manipulation of bricks providing a medium for story-making and storytelling enabling creation that gives a focus to all-class discussions. In a variation of a “posters and galleries” method, creations are introduced and specific features are identified, moved and explained in ways that animate peer discussion.
