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 come from a high poverty neighborhood with a very diverse range of home structures: nuclear, single parent, foster, and migrant, to name a few.

My students love to be at school and enjoy learning, especially when the activities are hands-on.

Many of my students are English language learners who attend a public school in the South Central Los Angeles area. They are always excited to experience any kind of technology that I'm able to bring to my class.

My Project

Students will use these glasses to take virtual field trips and watch 3D VR videos from the Internet for an immersive learning experience. We will use YouTube VR and Google Street View to take virtual field trips, watch 3d videos, and completely relevant and interesting assignments related to these immersive experiences. By taking in these experiences first hand, students can learn from places and objects otherwise unavailable in the classroom. The VR glasses we want to purchase will allow us to use them to see:

-a tour of the solar system

-amazing adaptations of birds, and

-how and why a steam engine works.

There is also much more! All lessons are aligned with Next Generation Science Standards and really make what I am teaching come alive!

The virtual field trips are truly amazing.
