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

My students enjoy using technology in the classroom while learning math. In my class my students work on different projects where they have to use technology. I want all of my students to learn how to use technology in different settings.

My students come from low income families and most of them don't have access to technology at home.

When I have them use the four computers and iPad I have available in my classroom they are excited to use them and they stay engaged throughout the entire lesson. My students enjoy using the technology whether they use the computers and iPad to work on a project for my math class or they use the document reader to project their classwork to explain it to their classmates. Most of the time my students struggle when they need to use technology because the iPad we have is outdated.

My Project

My students need a projector, laptop, iPad and a protection plan for the laptop, iPad and for the projector. About a month ago I had my students work on a course via Khan Academy that taught them the basics of computer programming. It was very difficult to have all of my students participate in this because I didn't have enough devices for each student. I had to lend my students my personal laptop and iPad and send some students to the library in order for all of my students to be able to complete the course. During this lesson all of my students were engaged and they were also having fun while working on the course.

Having the projector in my class will allow students to use PowerPoint presentations when they present their projects.

Having the laptop a iPad in my class will allow my students to have one more computer and iPad in the class that they could use when we work on assignments that require technology. Since accidents occur I am also buying a protection plan for the MacBook air, for the iPad and for the LCD projector.
