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
Approximately 700 unique 7th and 8th graders attend my middle school. We are a diverse population with a variety of backgrounds, cultures, experiences, and academic strengths. Seventy-four percent of our students qualify for free and reduced priced lunch, 1 in 7 of our students receives special education services, and 16 different languages are spoken on our campus. While every student is one-of-a-kind, all students share the desire and enthusiasm to experience their education through current technology tools. Many of our students come from technology-poor environments, and it has become clear that it is the school's responsibility to support students in becoming ready for the technology requirements of higher education and the workplace.
My Project
Students will be using a Chromebook to increase the rigor in their academic setting by researching and applying solutions to real-world problems and challenges. This experience will be student-directed, cross-curricular, experiential, and hands-on through Project Based Learning frameworks. A Chromebook will be used with the PBL framework to give students the opportunity to explore, interpret, and construct solutions to the real-world challenges that are relevant and support global mindedness. Access to this type of experience is nearly impossible without current technology tools. With a Chromebook and the Chrome Management Console, students will use web 2.0 education tools to research, evaluate information, construct viable solutions, and communicate new learning through multi-media applications.
Using current technology to support multi-faceted projects that connect to difficult but real challenges will be a highly effective and meaningful way to open our students' minds to the world they will inherit.
Our middle school students will thrive in a technology-supported environment where in-depth exploration of authentic and important topics are at the forefront. Without current technology tools, we are limiting the experiences our students need to be successful over the next 10 years of their academic careers. The donation of Chromebooks to the school would be invaluable and met with considerable gratitude.
