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 Students

Our students are typical teens and preteens. They love sports and video games. The latest music can be heard playing on their phones before school. Most are from second language learning families. Working class parents come to meetings always eager to see how they can help their children have the best learning opportunities.

They love technology but don't always see how it can be used to help their education.

You see them snapping and chatting. Following each others' tweets and liking different posts. What they are missing is how technology can enhance their learning; both by making it fun and giving them more connections to their learning.

My Project

Entering a world of reading and magic, students will first become engaged in the world of Harry Potter through literature. Letting their imaginations soar and connect to an exciting world, students will learn about the world of Hogwarts. With the connection to magic, they will next connect their excitement to coding.

Using the coding wands, students will create their own magic as they use the language of coding to make a computer respond to their movements.

With their excitement turned into making magic happen, students will become more engaged in the world of coding.

Students will find that their love of Harry Potter will connect them to the world of technology as science and magic meld.
