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

With access to a high-quality computer, microphone, and camera, I will enhance my teaching skills by integrating multimedia learning, podcasting, and digital debate analysis into my curriculum. I will grow professionally by learning modern content creation techniques, improving student engagement strategies, and developing a more interactive, tech-driven classroom.

By applying these tools, I can create immersive lessons, provide personalized feedback on debate performances, and teach students digital communication skills that prepare them for college and careers in media, law, and public speaking.

This project will empower students to express themselves confidently, improve their critical thinking, and give them a platform to share their voices with the world.
