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

My students attend a Title I charter school located in Las Vegas, NV. They represent a wide array of cultural backgrounds and speak many different languages. My students come from differing social and financial backgrounds as well, which only furthers their ability to learn from one another each day. My students are fun-loving and happy. Although many of them come from financially strained backgrounds they embrace and understand new technology at lightening speed. My students are clever, inquisitive and a delight to be around. They inspire me to become a better teacher and mentor. My students love broadcast technology so much that there is a one year waiting list for the class.

My Project

We do not teach math to young students in order to prepare them all to become professional mathematicians. Similarly, we are not teaching digital storytelling in order to crank out a new generation of Hollywood Filmmakers. Instead we are helping learners to develop cooperative skills, to enhance their problem-solving abilities, and to participate in cultural and social processes as capable, engaged interpreters. Students will use the light boxes to build the stopmotion sets and backdrops. The light boxes will keep the sets evenly lit. They will use the LEGO people as their characters within their animations. The LEGO people work extremely well because you're able to manipulate the different parts of their bodies to move them. The LEGO flats will enable the students to pose the mini figures and hold them in place. My students will collaborate to create short scripts and storyboards in order to prepare for their movies. They will then create the sets and shoot the films utilizing stop motion software on ipads. The students will then edit the footage using wevideo.com. The students will create various films from PSAs on the environment and issues that are important to them, to commercials and short stories.
