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 are creative, motivated, and eager to learn, but many of them face challenges when it comes to accessing technology. They come from diverse backgrounds and bring unique perspectives to the classroom, which makes our learning environment vibrant and full of potential.

An iPad in our classroom will open the door to interactive learning and help my students express their ideas in new ways.

They’ll be able to create presentations, record videos, explore educational apps, and access online resources to deepen their understanding.

This tool will also support students who don’t have reliable access to devices at home, allowing them to gain digital skills essential for school, college, and beyond. With this iPad, they won’t just be learning—they’ll be creating, collaborating, and preparing for the future.
