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 Project

Integrating trackpads into classroom presentations not only enhances students' oral communication abilities but also fosters the refinement of their body language skills, recognizing public speaking as an art form essential for their future success in college and beyond, particularly in the context of AP Spanish Language and Culture class. By seamlessly navigating slides, annotating in real-time, and engaging with interactive elements, students not only develop vital digital literacy skills but also enhance their proficiency in the target language through active participation and negotiation of meaning within their group presentations. This multifaceted approach empowers students to excel in both academic and professional settings while honing their language skills in preparation for the AP exam and beyond.
