Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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 Project

In today's tech-savvy generation of learners, podcast journalism has revolutionized a radio-inspired storytelling mode that followers can create or listen to in the accessibility and convenience of innovative gadgets, particularly their smartphones. These basic podcast tools; microphones, tablets, webcam and voice recorder will help students learn the value and joy of sharing their campus voice, views and experiences that can really matter in shaping the culture of responsible and impact-driven interaction for the benefit of a community.

It is perceived that middle school students' hyperactive nature can be favorably directed to something that may challenge them to get engaged with a fulfilling and worthwhile social activities through journalism.

With humble beginnings and attempts, students will be able to appreciate journalism as an influential instrument to make a difference in others.

The students in my school need to develop a sense of community involvement and worth by being a voice for their schoolmates; a voice for what they perceive as helpful and important within and outside the school. These tools and equipment may motivate students to discover and develop potentials to purposeful communicators in pro-active writing or speech in campus journalism.
