Help me give my students a sense of belonging, unity, inclusion, and pride with digital frames to reflect their work, post their projects, and upload photos of daily highlights!

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.
My Students
We are currently living in a remarkable time where my students are dealing with new stresses and concerns that are unprecedented. Their home lives and school lives have changed and they need engaging lessons with exciting material to keep them participating in their virtual learning.
My students deserve an incredible learning experience, despite the distance learning hurdles!
In their primary years, students are said to be learning to read. Now, as third graders, is when they are reading to learn. This is a crucial year in the educational lives of my students as they are more independent and able to exceed expectations when properly motivated ❤️
My Project
Every year, my students have had certain responsibilities. This year has required more than ever before! Students were asked to complete work in different locations, with - and sometimes without - a teacher. Students have had to make friends without being able to see full faces, to socialize without being too close, and to do their best without the usual motivations... In an effort to follow CDC guidelines, classrooms were stripped bare of any non-essential furniture, tools, and equipment.
Digital frames will give our class freedom beyond the borders of our classroom and bridge the gap between online and in-house learners as ONE CLASS!
Student photos can be uploaded from home so we can finally see their smiling faces, project videos and photos can be included to share with others and for us to remember the good times and to motivate us to continue our hard work. Students that earn special honors and certificates can also be posted to celebrate their accomplishments and to urge others that they can accomplish these goals too. Special messages can be posted daily as reminders of the day’s tasks or to inspire students to do their best.
The use of this technology will also help to eliminate the need to print and discard so much paper. Our class will be excited to see images of themselves representing our class and will look forward to contributing more images for the digital frame.
This year has also been one of increasing a sense of belonging and unity. What better way than to visually display all of our class together in a place where we can see our progress and growth on a daily basis. The digital frames allow for easy uploads using WiFi and allow for additional memory so there is no limit!
