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.
Do you remember reading as a child? I do. All I needed was a library card and a quiet spot. Today these things are still available, but becoming more and more readily available through technology. Unfortunately, many of the students I work with don't have access to these types of technology.
My students come from the largest school district in the state of Connecticut.
We are also the largest school in our district. Most of my students live below the poverty line and in environments that are not conducive to learning. Even with these things going on around them, they make it to school every day and have an insatiable love of learning.
My Project
I want to help cultivate their love of learning. Through the use of tablets I will not only have access to a library on demand through apps such as Google books, but I will also be able to access many educational apps that can help my students learn from the comfort of their seats. Not only will my special needs students be able to access visually captivating sites, but my bi-lingual students will also benefit from this.
Education through the use of this technology is the direction the modern world is heading in. By giving my students experience with manipulating this type of technology they will have a distinct advantage over peers in terms of understanding how to effectively use technology to enrich their learning.
Captivation and motivation are two important factors in educating our children today.
We live in a society where instant gratification and the use of technology are dominant. Please help me to keep my students up to par or better than the others. Together we can give them the edge they need to be competitive in a technologically driven market. Not only that, but we will also be able to give them the tools needed to enrich their own education.
