Help me give my students a laptop so I can differentiate instruction in a way that can meet the academic needs of the vast majority of the students in my classrooms.
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
My students are creative, thoughtful, and full of questions! They love to participate in multimodal approaches to learning. They absolutely love hands-on activities and are most engaged in the lesson or main activity when it involves technology. This year I’m hoping to challenge them to think outside the box, outside of the way that they normally use technology to become critical thinkers, frequent readers, and passionate creators. I want to ensure that they are all able to access content on the platforms they love and experience academic growth in the process.
My Project
Funding for this project would provide me with a tool to be both successful in the classroom and in my coursework. It’s important to me to be my best self for my students and to be able to apply all that I’m learning at Relay in my classroom. I also project a number of assignments and activities on to our white board to ensure that the content I’m teaching is visually accessible to all students. The goal of this project is to support and enhance my practice and provide me with the tools to be successful both in and outside the classroom.
Access to this laptop will improve the lives of my students by engaging them in the lesson, and helping them to synthesize and retain more information.
This will allow students to interact with texts and content in a more meaningful way. The skills obtained will help them to pass their various Regents Exams, increase their stamina, and deepen their critical thinking.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
