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

As an educator, I’m always looking for ways to grow professionally and bring new, engaging strategies into my classroom. I’m currently seeking support to purchase an iPad that will help me expand my professional development opportunities and enhance the learning experience for my students.

With an iPad, I’ll be able to:

* Access virtual workshops, webinars, and training programs more easily

* Create and share interactive lessons and digital resources

* Use powerful teaching apps to engage my students in creative ways

The iPad will also support daily classroom tasks, from managing student portfolios to using real-time tools that increase student participation.
