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
I have 12 students in my self-contained special education classroom. This year, we will all be learning remotely. Some of my students had a difficult time in the Spring when learning suddenly changed from in-person to remote. My students look forward to attending school in person which unfortunately is not possible due to pre-existing conditions.
My students are a rainbow of possibilities who thrive on interactive instruction and support.
Most of my students are in 5th grade and will be transitioning to middle school next year. Middle school is quite a challenge given the beginning of teenage years and growing pains they experience by being in the "middle". This year will be the door to the next step in their academic careers.
My Project
Having an iPad to remotely teach my students will afford me the ability to create life-like instruction to the fullest extent. In the classroom we use interactive boards to teach lessons for math, reading and writing. These interactive boards afford us the ability to draw, write, solve, play educational games and learn and grow as a team.
The iPad will help in fostering an active, engaging and team learning experience where the learning possibilities are endless.
As I conduct live teaching through Google Classroom, the iPad will afford me the ability to share my iPad screen and engage my students through the use of different apps. It will assist me in showing live problem solving, brainstorming for writing, Post-it Note thinking, mindfulness checks, educational games and most of all whole class engagement and participation.
