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 Students

My students all have different areas of strengths and areas to develop. They vary in their learning styles and learning needs. As a resource teacher I provide support in building on my students' strengths to encourage growth and perseverance despite their learning difficulties.

My Project

This projector will help me easily cast videos, images, or even other educational apps onto my whiteboard from my computer or any device to add to my student's learning.

My students learn better when they can clearly see what I am showing them on the board and when I can make it fun by adding a follow-up video, song, or image to their learning.

I can even project educational sites from my computer with this. My students all range in their learning abilities and I want to provide the best resources that I can to differentiate and encourage their learning.
