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 and I are active in the community daily. Having an iPad that can travel with us so that we can utilize every teachable moment is important.

Leveling the playing field by providing my students with the necessary technology to be successful is critical.

Being able to take one electronic device with us that will connect to wifi and has a touch screen, will allow all of my students access.

Having the ability to be exposed to different learning apps so that the learning can be very individualized is also essential.
