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

My students have very creative minds (and sometimes quite hilarious too!) when I ask them to create video projects. They are fully engrossed in learning technology skills they can use in the future. The number one complaint I get is that there is too much noise in their recordings. My old headphones do not have mics and are so old they are falling apart. These new headphones would allow my students to make clear, clean recordings. This will boost their confidence in their work as it will sound more professional.

I want my students to feel proud of their creative projects and be encouraged to explore video editing more.

Some students are nervous that they won't get the right answer. In my video projects, there is no wrong answer. They are allowed to be as creative as they want.
