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

I was hoping to have our classroom computer for another year or two but it konked out on us at the beginning of the week. The reality is that it is now impossible to teach without technology. Even if you have an "old school" mentality and way of teaching, you still need tech to organize, print, create, and write lessons and curriculum.

Unfortunately, technology is not meant to last any more (unlike my GE blender from 1970) and must be updated.

This computer will be used in the classroom for research, the creation of lesson plans, grading, attendance, and more. Students will also have access to the computer and use it as needed. While we do have a computer cart we frequently have to share it with other classrooms and not all of the computers work. We are respectfully requesting this generous gift to get us through the next several years with technology that works so that our classroom can run smoothly.

While our school has computer carts, we frequently have to share them. This computer will be used to support our ENL and students with IEPs (lesson modifications) when the computer cart is in use. This computer will be used to connect to our overhead screen so that PowerPoints, lessons, photos, images, and videos can be projected for the entire class to see and partake. Furthermore, the computer will be used by students to print out their work. Many students prefer to type their work on Google Docs and this computer will be connected to the classroom printer (thank you DonorsChoose - it saves me every day) so that students can print their work out accordingly.
