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 classes are made up of a combination of students which includes: students with English limitations, as well as students with learning disabilities which benefit from differentiated instruction. My school is in a suburban neighborhood. These students are not motivated to learn math and think they are just not good at it.
I would like to motivate my students and make them be successful in math.
These students can be motivated by the use of a laptop. The use of computers can enhance their learning and motivation. Some of these students never get to use or play with a computer and being able to use it in the class will motivate them to learn.
My Project
My students need an Apple Macbook laptop to incorporate technology in the classroom. It will be used to differentiate instruction. My students, ESOL (limited English) and SPED (special needs) would like to interact with the internet to learn math. I know many available resources that they can benefit from and interact with in order to succeed in my class. There are many intervention programs that will give them differentiated instruction needed.
Many of my students students do not have access to a computer at home.
By having this Apple laptop in the classroom, I can have these students engage in learning and motivate them as they work interactively solving rigorous math problems and become proficient.
More than half of students from low‑income households
