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

A typical day in my classroom consists of students checking in on the classroom website, coding, scanning and creating QR codes, creating, editing and publishing content to our classroom website.

Students have access to headphones, iPads, computers, styluses and even a couple of Sphero robots.

My room is a wonderland of technology tools. Students use these technology tools to build vital 21st-century digital literacy skills; computer science, coding, robotics, and creating and publishing multimedia content.

My students are full of dreams and hope for the future. They are hungry to use the tools of their time and to use technology as a powerful thinking, learning and content creation tool. Most of my students don't have Internet at home, and for some, the only time they use computers is in my classroom. I feel a deep responsibility to help my students become comfortable and competent using top quality technology tools. The iPads are the tools that get used the most in my room and after 5 years of wear and tear we badly need new cases. The cases were not even designed for my iPads and I regularly use duck tape and glue to fight the wear and tear.

My Project

Every student at my school uses my classroom iPads. That's over 1,000 students, each spending an hour a day for 5 weeks with an assigned iPad from my classroom. From time to time a student drops and iPad on the floor ..... I cringe, my heart skips a beat, I hope the screen did not crack.

As a teacher, I know that kids will drop iPads from time to time but that doesn't have to be a fatal blow.

With decent cases, we can protect these iPads from accidental drops and ensure they continue to serve students for many years to come.
