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

We are part of a large, high-needs, Title I school in the north Bronx. The majority of students come from low-income homes or from homes with limited parental involvement, and they are doing their best with distance learning amidst all the chaos. Most of my students lack any resources to be able to complete assignments.

My Project

Using an iPad and stylus would allow me to integrate technology and applications that are not available on laptop computers.

An iPad would allow me to create visually stimulating video lessons for students, giving them easier access to our curriculum.

The screen is large and bright and the iPad’s camera controls are rich with features. The Apple Store offers dozens of excellent video camera apps that make the built-in camera even more powerful through image enhancement, stabilization, filters, exposure meters, aspect ratio and other granular controls. The professional-grade video editing apps make the iPad a complete filmmaking system, which is necessary in this new era of remote learning.

For example, I could integrate more visual and oral supports into a math quiz for students who struggle with reading. This would enable all of my students to access the math quiz using the means of receiving information that best suits their learning style.
