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

Each day, we run into problems with the technology in our classroom. The computer that we have in our classroom runs slow, doesn't always connect to our Document Camera, and/or requires software updates for different websites. These things really hinder our learning and teaching experiences. When teaching first graders, every second counts! So when time is wasted because an app is causing the computer to run slow, my students' minds really begin to wander. We have their attention one second, then the computer runs slowly, and poof! Their attention is gone, and it's very challenging getting their attention back.

We need this laptop to ensure that all of our lessons run smoothly, without any obstacles!

My students deserve adequate technology that does not stall or impede on their learning. The MacBook adapter will allow me to stream lessons through our projector and connect to our Document Camera.
