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
I teach at a Title I school in the Bronx where 100% of my students receive free lunch. Based on a survey I conducted, I discovered that the majority of my middle school students do not have access to a computer or WiFi at home, however they are very tech savvy and love using technology at school when computer carts are available. My students crave to relate learning to their lives through projects that enable them to get creative and apply their artistic talents.
My Project
In order to stimulate my students’ interest in social studies, and further engage them in the classroom, I would like to create more opportunities for collaboration by having students work together, using Google Apps features on Chromebooks to create multimedia projects. This year I intend to incorporate socio-emotional learning into the seventh and eighth grade social studies curriculum. In learning stations my students will use Chromebooks to identify, compare, and evaluate multiple perspectives about historical events that are thematically related to tolerance. They will apply their knowledge of tolerance in different historical contexts by creating video clips, commercials, PowerPoint presentations, and podcasts to share their learning with other students.
As one of the few arts schools in the Bronx, we try our best to create an environment that fosters creativity and collaboration through engaging projects that draw on our students’ artistic abilities of writing, recording, editing, directing, acting, singing, dancing, drawing, painting, and beyond.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
