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 Students

John Dewey once said "If we teach today as we taught yesterday, then we rob our children of tomorrow."

I believe in this quote when it comes to technology and moving forward.

Here at our elementary school we constantly evaluate what we can do to make our instruction, interventions, and school culture positive and effective. One way, would be to incorporate more technology into the classroom and have technology readily accessible to the students.

The students in our school have a love of learning, expressing their creativity, and challenging themselves. One of the challenges many of my students face is difficulty in reading, writing, and phonics. With the addition of iPads in the classroom, my students will be able to work independently using apps that are interactive with reading, writing, and phonics. These apps will help my students gain the confidence they need in their struggling areas, and will allow them to have fun while learning. Let's give our children the resources they need to succeed in the future!

My Project

The Apple iPads will make a difference in my students' learning because there are many "magical" interactive apps where the students can learn foundational skills in early reading, writing, and math in a magical fun way! The students in my classroom are all special needs and iPads are essential for their learning. Many students in my class do not have access to much technology at home, so it is essential they have the access to technology in school. These "magical" iPads are also small enough for their little hands and easy to store in a center for them to work independently!
