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 middle schoolers at a Title I school in New York. My students come from diverse backgrounds and many from tough homes. They are overcoming social and emotional barriers each day to receive an education.
My students are active and enthusiastic.
They are motivated and eager to do well. They want to learn and are constantly seeking opportunities to take ownership of their learning.
Our school is in a high needs and high poverty area in which most children are on free or reduced-price breakfast and lunch programs. My students work hard despite the challenges they face. Many students stay after school, participate in after-school clubs and activities and are always striving to be, and do, better for themselves and for others.
My Project
Over my teaching career, I have found innovative ways to incorporate video games and interactive media in the classroom. I have built reading clubs around the use of the Nintendo Switch. I have used games to connect to literature with texts such as Ender’s Game, Ready Player One, and The Dead.
I are requesting educational games to help teach STEAM skills as well as boost creativity.
I have selected various games that will help me to teach STEAM concepts and build on teamwork and problem solving skills in both a physical and academic manner. Using games in the classroom is uniquely engaging for students, and helps them learn in new ways. It is also essential to show just how much games can assist students in being more active as is the case with the games selected.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
