Reaching for Research!

My students need 6 High Performance RCA Galileo Pro 11.5" 32GB Touchscreen Tablet Computers for rotating research projects. While I have large class sizes, timed rotating research activities are engaging with limited resources.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. DiFabio's classroom raised $752

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 Students

Welcome to our class!

The students at HPHS are creative, bright, fun, feisty, trailblazers.

While they are full of potential, life sometimes gets in the way. Our students deal with unimaginable obstacles. Purchasing supplies, completing assignments, finding transportation and even getting dressed in the morning causes our 14 to 17 year olds unnecessary stress.

While these students fight to get to and participate in school every day, they surprise their teachers with their resilience.

I am here to help. Sometimes all they need is a little bit of support from the teachers and the community.

My Project

21st century skills are necessary for college and career readiness. How can teachers prepare students without technology?

Because of this project, students will have access to 6 High Performance RCA Galileo Pro 11.5" 32GB Touchscreen Tablet Computers.

With these computers, there will be an in class computer lab for short research papers. These will also be portable so that my high needs students located in other parts of the building can benefit.

This year there are long class periods, about 1.5 hours. The students benefit from rotating activities. One activity will include quick research and summary assignments on the High Performance RCA Galileo Pro 11.5" 32GB Touchscreen Tablet Computers.

These computers will answer to the need of teaching students to research reliable sources, while also weeding out unreliable sources.
