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.
Technology is the future and in order for our students to be fully equipped for the future education and careers they need to start using and working with technology in the classroom. One way to do this is by the use of a document camera in order for the students to gain all types of material.
These students are 12-14 year old's attending a charter school that is K-8.
They are talented students who are at the top of their school. The material they access is strictly through the material what the teachers can provide through their curriculum. The school is under resourced and all of their materials are class sets, where they can't bring books home or copies of pages out of books. This students are in an low income area in the city they live in and to have new and exciting curriculum in the class would engage them in their classes.
My Project
A document camera would be able to provide an assortment of different, innovative and exciting curriculum to these students academic lives. The use of a document camera and a projector makes material via the internet, newspaper sources or textbooks available to everyone. Another important benefit of a document camera is that it decreases significantly on the amount of copies made in order to give every student access to the same material. Therefore, making the material the students use universal but also using an eco-friendly approach.
Technology in the classroom is something that is so important in today's school curriculum.
Ideally, every student would have access to a computer and be able to use the amazing resources we have for them in the technology world everyday. However, at this point that is not possible for these students and to give them a chance to the same material and information out there is through the use of a document camera for their everyday classroom experience.
