Get my 9th graders motivated to learn about world history!

Help me give my students easier access to Google Classroom. They have been begging me to learn how to use GC. I did. And now we need more Acer Chromebooks to give all students access to it.

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

The best moments of being a teacher happen when the class ends, but the students keep talking. How wonderful it is to see two teenagers walk toward a globe in the classroom instead of toward the door at the sound of the bell. How inspiring it is to hear students react and to watch them pass a laptop around their table to show each other the images of turning points in world history. When my New York City high school students see history on a computer screen, they are more likely to understand it, to talk about it, and to remember it.

My Project

For the past two years, my high school social studies students have been telling me that learning with Google Classroom is fun and that I should use it with them. My answer was always, "I don't know how to use Google Classroom." They always told me how much better it would be for them to learn and how they would be so much more motivated to attend class and to complete the work. I got tired of always telling them I just didn't know how to do that.

So, this past summer, motivated by my students' requests that I learn how to make learning better for them, I spent my time learning how to use Google Classroom.

Now, I am creating and posting the work on Google Classroom every day, but we need more Chromebooks so that each student can use one to show their learning. Allowing each student to use a separate Acer Chromebook to complete the Google Classroom activities would make it possible for each student to work at their own pace. In a classroom with diverse learners, this is especially important. It will allow the students who learn by watching historical videos to spend more of their class time doing that, while students who learn more by reading about history can spend their class time doing that.
