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 Project

Having a laptop in a classroom offers increased versatility for tasks that require more specialized software. While Chromebooks excel with web-based applications, a laptop can run various programs and software that offer a broader range of learning resources. It also provides more storage space to save students' projects and presentations while also providing better performance for demanding tasks.

A laptop enhances compatibility by supporting a wider variety of file types and applications, making it a useful tool for students working with specialized content or offline resources.

It also caters to different learning styles, as some students may prefer the more traditional laptop experience with a full operating system.

From the teacher's perspective, a laptop provides a place to store student data and multimedia presentations. It serves as a backup if a Chromebook encounters issues and supports more advanced STEM activities that may require more advanced software.
