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.
I am constantly amazed by my students' desire to learn and the amount of determination they have to succeed. One of the best ways I have found to provide for all of my students' diverse needs is hands-on learning and technology integration. Technology is able to bring to life many of the abstract concepts that my students are learning about and allows them to interact with a concept, instead of merely reading about it.
We have great parental support in the area of academics, but many of our parents struggle financially.
We are called a Comprehensive High School which includes a Cosmetology program, Auto Mechanic program, and a Culinary program in addition to the traditional academic programs.
Students who are actively engaged are able to learn more and at a deeper level. Technology allows us to tailor education to meet the educational and cultural needs of the students. Our wonderful students have a real thirst to learn, which is so very refreshing.
My Project
My students are both in-person and online learners. This tablet will allow my upper-level students more flexibility when working with their peers that are online. Students have the chance to start to plan for their future careers but to do so they need reliable access to technology. The Surface Tablet will be used both in their plans and in the salon once we are able to take customers.
I am lucky that I have the opportunity in cosmetology not only to dispel myths and prejudices but give students the opportunity to see themselves and their culture reflected and celebrated for their unique beauty.
The surface tablet will allow my students to scratch at the surface of the inequalities that still exist in the beauty industry.
