Help me give my students the tools to creatively transition from almost two years of learning behind a screen to working towards a healthy balance of the digital world mixed with the traditional classroom.

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
Our students come from a large urban area in Connecticut and are an extremely diverse population of students, with families from countries around the globe. Many of our students are English Language Learners for whom English is a second language, and over half of our students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.
Our school is a true melting pot of students with cultural backgrounds from near and far, which makes our school so great!
Our students have backgrounds from approximately 40 different countries around the world...we are a fantastic mixture of cultures and backgrounds!
My Project
Teachers and students have spent almost 2 years behind our screens. There's no question technology is part of the future of education. Students need to be given an environment where there is a healthy balance that involves the use of technology and the traditional classroom environment.
By replenishing the ink supply of our color printer, we will be able to create a fun classroom environment in which both technology and creativity are the focus.
Using the ink for the printer, our 7th graders will be greeted with unique and colorful bulletin boards designed by their teachers, offering encouragement and excitement for the 2021-2022 school year. Throughout the year, students will be able to use technology to creatively demonstrate their learning of different topics. They will be able to showcase their knowledge by being able to print, in color, their creations and display them in the classroom or hallway.
Incorporating technology into a traditional classroom can make student learning not only effective, but also engaging. Students love to use technology to show off their skills. Imagine the delight when they are able to "publish" their work by simply printing it out!
More than half of students from low‑income households
