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
"The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character—that is the goal of true education.”—Martin Luther King, Jr.
I have several 6th graders this school year who are having difficulties both in and out of the classroom.
I would like to support them by providing them the technology that is lacking in my classroom.
My students are passionate and very eager to learn.
They come from very diverse cultural backgrounds and many are receiving free or reduced-price lunch. I would like to foster their critical and creative thinking through the use of technology in order for them to be college and career ready.
My Project
My students need a tablet to enable them to draw and write their math assignments. They will use technology like Desmos to graph on the tablet and use virtual manipulatives like integer tiles or probability spinners to promote conceptual understanding of the math concepts. My students will use Earth Science apps to gain a deeper understanding of concepts like plate tectonics and convection inside the earth. They will create different video projects in order for them to apply their creative and critical-thinking skills when they demonstrate their understanding about concepts like earthquakes and volcanoes.
I am fortunate to teach a group of passionate young minds that are full of potential.
However, several of them are being presented with challenges in life and are in need of extra support and encouragement. They are in need of engaging and thought-provoking activities. I am hoping that with the added technology in the classroom, I will be able to motivate students further build their confidence and increase their learning.
