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.
My Students
The students at my school are energetic, proactive and enjoy when we have engineering and computer application projects that allow them to think creatively and critically while working in groups or independently! Many of our students are eager to come back to school and eventually participate in after school programs like Robotics club and Technology club that allow them to perform more hands-on activities and even participate in county fairs to show others how they use 21st century tools to create and inspire their peers. My Title 1 school is located in a small impoverished urban area and home to many families where language barriers may sometimes impede home-school communication. With a large number of English Language Learners, it's my goal to give students a quality experience in technology and engineering, while being safe, in order to bring the workplace and the classroom together in an effective way. STEM is the new buzz word and students definitely love connecting real world experiences with their learning. While experiencing learning all students should feel safe and secure in class!
My Project
My students must keep up with the latest advancements in education to spark an interest in technology. My school media center doesn't have a large collection of keyboards or mice, so I would like to have new keyboards to replace the key-less ones, bluetooth mice to make learning how to use the mouse easier for younger students, and bluetooth headphones for students whose computer's jack is damaged.
Students in my classroom like to use the computer to type, code, and create graphic designs.
Students who may struggle in school often look at Technology class as less intimidating than their core classes. In class, students learn, create, and design on the computer but most importantly, have fun! Helping students begin to learn that technology is useful and fun is perfect way to build better digital citizens. So please help me provide the hardware students need to be successful!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
