FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Vanegas's classroom raised $1,366
This project is fully funded
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
My High School students are from East Side Los Angeles, California.
I find my students fun to be around, they have strong family values, and great attitudes toward life.
Many of the students will be the first ones to go to college. The High School has over 1,700 students and is an International Baccalaureate school, where students produce many projects that focus on problems that face the Earth and its communities.
Many students are great self-learners, but about 30% of students need individual attention, and resources to be successful. My goal is to create a classroom where all the students get what they need to feel successful in education, and contribute to the world economy.
My Project
With a new full featured laptop, I will be able to deliver more interactive chemistry lessons. With online teaching, the speed of the computer processor is imperative to a smooth distance learning experience. This new computer will allow me to deliver video conferences, with screen sharing & writing on the screen.
By having a touch screen, I'll be able to walk my students through chemistry examples with more ease.
Also distance teaching allows students to connect to the global society. I plan to use the more powerful computer to schedule guest speakers for my students. Connecting students to to guest speakers in the field of science will broaden their world view on topics such as climate change, poverty, education, ect.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
