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

As a reading specialist I serve elementary students who are struggling to read due to hardships, such as homelessness, impoverishment, and/or dyslexia. I need to keep current in the science of reading and assessment tools amongst other researched-based approaches. School is here and although in-person classes have resumed, most professional development opportunities continue to be online. Online tools have improved, but having to attend all these important sessions from a single small screen is challenging.

Sure, we have made it work, but it takes a lot of work to make it work.

There is just so much switching between windows and that slows most teachers down and can be really confusing.

Adding a second monitor and a full keyboard is probably the best thing teachers can do for efficiency and to us help keep focused on learning to improve our teaching practice. Study after study has shown that having a second monitor boosts productivity. In addition, adding a keyboard and mouse to your laptop will really help with the comfort and health of your experience while learning remotely.
