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 Students

Education is changing rapidly along with the rapid advancement of technology. My students are facing this changing world, but sadly the technology provided in our classrooms by state funding is minimal.

My students live in a rural area of Hawaii.

Many walk and ride their bikes to school. My students come from all walks of life and come from many countries around the globe. Some of my students are second language learners and are using English mainly at school.

My Project

My students are growing up in an ever-changing world of fast-paced technology, but are not keeping up with other classrooms around the globe. Many classrooms across the country are using computers and iPads to help with reading, math skills, science and social studies. Applications available on iPads are engaging and can hold students' interest with interactive games and higher-level thinking skills. iPads are portable and can be used anywhere in the classroom and can be used individually or in a small group. They can also be used to help meet the needs of diverse learners through enrichment or remedial activities. There are wonderful programs for teachers as well to help monitor student progress and present classroom lessons.

Your donations to this project will help us take the first step to a more technological and engaging classroom.

Students are not afraid of using technology and would be excited to get their hands on this learning tool. Please help us to add this wonderful resource into our classroom.
