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
Teaching kids about computers can prepare them for using the numerous forms of technology that are present throughout today's society.
They have been learning and growing through movement, exploration, discovery, and wonder.
With hands-on play my toddlers and preschoolers have been learning to experiment, and interact with their peers as they work in groups or individually where a lot of learning happens. Just as with any individual who is new to technology, I have started teaching my students about some computer basics; such as using a mouse and keyboard, and about general computer etiquette. Since most computers are driven by commands from a mouse as opposed to keyboard commands, teaching kids how to use a mouse is a major first step in learning about computers.
My Project
My preschoolers love technology. This project will provide them the opportunity to learn how to take pictures, print out their work, and keep a portfolio of their projects. For my students taking digital pictures can be a way to share cool things that have happened during school hours. They will also learn to express their creativity of the wonderful natural experiences they have playing inside the classroom and in the playground. Photography will help develop their voice, vision, and identity as it pertains to their family, friends, and community.
Taking photos will also help my students visualize the same thing in different ways.
As the children upload the pictures, they will learn to print and post their work in the classroom. The ink used for the project will be used by all the children as they work on the classroom computer and printer.The children will see the difference between black ink in comparison to the glossy photographs that are kept around the classroom. They will also learn taking pictures with a camera can be moved from one device to the next.
They will use the portfolios as documentation of the images to look through and present to families after each study is completed in the school year. These materials will also help my students learn new vocabulary words such as a keyboard, printer, ink, printing paper, camera, and portfolio.
My students will also learn how to collaborate, take turns, and work together. I will demonstrate how to use the camera, where the ink comes from and how to take care of what they have printed by using the portfolios.
