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
My students come from families who are hoping to see their children be the first to graduate from college. As the head of student support, I am charged with the task of ensuring ALL of our students have a chance at college success. We recently competed in the Learnstorm challenge, and won!
As more of our classrooms incorporate "flipped" or "blended" learning models, I can see teachers and students without easy access to computers falling behind.
When all of the math teachers in our school took on the challenge of engaging their students through Kahn Academy's Learnstorm, we found that students dived right in. We'd love to continue this surge with more computers in our school...so teachers can use Chromebooks in class or check them out to students to use at home to complete projects, exhibitions, labs, portfolios, presentations, art projects, college applications, scholarship searches, etc. Access to a computer in a library is very different than access to a laptop in the privacy and comfort of your own home. Access to shared technology is very different from access to your own laptop in front of you to work on throughout the day.
My Project
The laptops in this proposal include 40+ Chromebooks and a way to charge them at school. These will be available for teachers to check out to increase personalized learning opportunities for students in class. The majority of our students' work is completed on GoogleDocs, so the Chromebooks will be ideal tools for students to write their essays, labs, artist statements, college essays, reflections, and review peer/teacher feedback. These computers will also be extremely useful for students who don't have computers at home and need to check them out at the end of the day for completing college and scholarship applications, homework, projects, and other online assignments.
With your donation, you are putting a computer in front of a student who would otherwise be relegated to the back of the technological line.
In the current educational environment, students with access to technology have greater access to online resources, applications, tools, and success. My hope is to make these resources available to our most needy students by having computers available when they need them. Thank you for your support!
