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 urban scholars that have so much potential without the resources to match. While the neighborhood they live in has been developing, many of the resources have not reached the sections where their families reside. They are inquisitive students that range in age and ability. My students enjoy learning and have different learning styles. They love science and are excited about using technology for scientific research. Some of my students can tell you about the latest video games or what Apps they use on their parents’ smartphones, while others have a television set as their most advanced technology.
When there is a challenge, that is when my students really come to life.
It is a joy to see them deep in thought or trying to discover something new. Many of my students have special needs and require accommodations for learning. Although my students can get easily distracted, they do not let that keep them from trying out new technology in the classroom. They rely upon one another to learn how to use and solve problems with technology in class. My students learn that if they work hard, greatness will be the outcome.
My Project
My students need more instructional technology in the classroom. My students will use tablets to work on their projects and provide portable access to information. They will be able to research on the go and learn while in motion. New headphones will allow my students to focus in on what they are learning about without distraction.
Twenty-first century learning skills are extremely important for my students and all students to prepare for college and careers.
The new instructional technology will allow my students to engage in problem-solving and critical thinking through design challenges and robotics. My students will work through topics that directly affect their lives and develop the products and tools to improve them.
The voice recorder will allow my students to conduct interviews, build journalism skills and develop a student newsletter to inform their peers about pressing issues throughout the school. I will use all of the new instructional technology to teach students about design thinking and about STEM professions they may consider in the future. With your support, I am confident we can accomplish these tasks.
