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

Help me give my students better instruction with the help of an iPad and Apple Pencil! These tools will increase learning and engagement in our RLA classroom in many ways.

Using an iPad will encourage greater participation in student-led activities and result in better presentations.

Students will be able to annotate texts and answer questions from their seats instead of going to the board, encouraging students to participate and lead the class. Students will use the Apple tools to create and share presentations, particularly by filming, editing photos and videos, and screen recording.

The Apple tools will be used to create digital anchor charts to share with my students. We will use the iPad as a whiteboard to document collaborative reasoning, casting it for all to see. We will use the tools when working with graphic organizers in large and small groups to model the most effective and beneficial ways to use them. Lessons will be recorded, modeling appropriate annotation and thinking to go along with various texts; this will be very useful when students are working in stations or have been absent from the original instruction. Giving students clear and helpful feedback, making anecdotal notes about student progress, and tracking data are other essential tasks that will be aided through the use of the iPad and Apple Pencil.
