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

In the evolving world of COVID-19, remote classrooms have rapidly become the new normal. Having the right technology is crucial when it comes to ensuring student satisfaction during remote learning. School closures have separated students from teachers, counselors, and other staff members who can support them during important developmental transitions. Despite these circumstances, my students are doing their best to learn from home and look forward to connecting with me virtually. I have a dynamic group of young scholars who are striving for a better future regardless of the challenges they face on a day to day basis.

A large percentage of my students live in unstable housing conditions in the South Bronx.

As we prepare for the fall, some students will be returning to school for in-person instruction while others will continue to work remotely.

My Project

We now live in a digital world, and digital classroom experience is imperative to accomplish sufficient growth gains. As we prepare for the next school year, I want to ensure I have the right resources to connect with my students in real-time through video chats. Video chat solutions empower multimedia connections: Staff and students can see and hear each other, teachers can share slides and documents and I can meet the needs of my students with disabilities who oftentimes require additional support.

But distance adds additional challenges, and an efficient device is needed to do this work without lagging and delayed connection during book clubs or math small groups.

The MacBook Pro has everything I need to connect with my students. It has a more advanced thermal architecture which enables faster processing. The thermal architecture in MacBook Pro has been completely redesigned, featuring larger impellers with improved fan blades for optimal airflow and more heat-dispersing fins for more effective cooling. The resulting gain in cooling capacity allows MacBook Pro to deliver up to 12 watts more maximum sustained power.

Not only will this help my students achieve academically but more importantly, prepare them for the real world. With your help, we can bring education and technology together and give students the support they need.
