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.

"Technology will not replace great teachers, but technology in the hands of great teachers can be transformational." ~George Couros
My Students
I teach in an urban middle school north of Boston. We have over 80% of our students qualify for free and reduced lunch. My students are inquisitive and have a love for learning. Like many other communities, Covid-19 hit us pretty hard. Many of my students' families lost their jobs, and many were essential workers and worked straight through the state's shutdown.
Positive test result are steadily rising, and our district's reopening plan is to go back to school full remote. We need technology to support our kids to give them the best educational experience possible. I want to give them the best because my students are the best. I am looking for technology to fully be able to make this type of educational experience positive and successful.
My Project
The world of education has changed drastically.
What once was taught solely in a classroom setting is now being taught remotely.
My students will be home learning, and I will be in my classroom teaching. My students will get the best educational experience at home while I use the webcam to film me lecturing and using examples on my board. I will be able to project them on the screen in a larger capacity.
I want my students not only to be able to see me teaching but for me to be able to see them. I will be projecting them on the screen and using the webcam to have them be able to see me. Students will be able to watch me at the board, and while they are asking questions I will be able to answer them.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
