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 32 students come from working-class families. Most are Title I low-income families. At least 7 are from immigrant families.

At least nine of them do not have the resources at home to complete technology projects.

They work on projects in class and after school to keep up with assignments.

All are high academic achievement students who are the top of their class. They have earned placement in a School for Advanced Studies (SAS) Program demonstrating academic achievement. They have earned the right to be in the program that requires technology integration.

Now that they are in the program they struggle with accessing the technology to come out ahead and experience what SAS students in more affluent communities have.

My Project

Now that they are in the SAS program they struggle with accessing the technology to come out ahead. Students in my program are learning to use technology as a tool for advanced projects.

They will be able to use these headphones to do research that includes multimedia visuals and sound effects, digital resources and online models that makes their presentations richer and complete.

They will be able to use the speakers for their classroom presentations and to present to larger audiences. With these tools, they will be able to incorporate multimedia into all their projects and learn the power of richer presentation.

They have achieved academically, it would be a shame to let lack of technology keep them from achieving more.
