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.
Enthusiastic, flexible, and motivated are just a few words to describe this fantastic class of thirty-five second graders. These students have endured these extremely difficult circumstances with so much grace and perseverance. My students are back in the classroom in a hybrid learning model. Students enter my classroom each day ready to learn and excited to see what new activities they will be exploring for the day. They come from a low-socioeconomic status (SES) household area located in Southern California and have had very few opportunities to explore their world around them this year.
My goal, as an educator, is to provide my students with diverse learning opportunities to explore the world around them.
My Project
Online technologies have removed the barriers of time, cost and location from the learning activities and experiences available to students. Virtual field trips allow learners to engage with and to learn about authentic artifacts and to explore places important to their learning interests and needs.
Virtual field trips using VR headsets provide students an opportunity to explore a variety of amazing environments that they may never have the chance to visit in person.
During a virtual field trip, students can be guided through everything from the Great Barrier Reef, to Buckingham Palace, and even outer space. Each field trip is a 360-degree experience that lets students explore some incredible locations while being guided by a teacher who highlights important features on the tour. The teacher asks probing questions to help students think more about the environment they are in.
