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.
I work with 12 terrific children at RGES, in Reno Nevada. The students are part of a distance learning experience and have tackled this unique challenge with a positive attitude and grit. They have proven tenacious and compassionate and have been part of building a terrific classroom culture.
My Project
Online learning is hard! The Covid-19 Pandemic has had a profound effect on how educators teach and how students learn. Concepts that were once taught in-person with hands-on manipulatives to students placed in cooperative learning groups are currently a thing of the past and many teachers have gone into survival mode. However, as the weeks have progressed, many of us have found a groove; a way to pivot our normal teaching practices and transform the way we teach.
So while, I have found a new workflow, new ways to engage my learners, and assess their understanding, there is still an area in which I struggle to connect with my students and it comes down to a small, yet very significant area of need--a second computer screen that will allow me to see all of my students at once.
My school uses Zoom as the only method of synchronous instruction and unfortunately, this platform only allows for 25 faces to be displayed on a screen at once. Please help me fund the purchase of a second screen and docking hub so that I can provide seamless and user-friendly online instruction. The utilization of a second screen will allow me to see all of my students during Zoom meetings and will restore what I miss most about teaching in person, seeing all of my students' smiling faces. Thank you!
