My Students

My students are wonderful, bright, curious middle schoolers thriving in an advanced academic program. They flourish in a rich urban setting experimenting with music, prose, poetry, dance and dance. My student population is a highly diverse one and they enjoy incorporating their rich ethnic backgrounds into their writing and projects. This exchange of ideas and heritage makes their educational experiences rich and rewarding. They gain an appreciation of their own backgrounds and others which strengthens their relations with each other.

My Project

Technology is a must in this day and age of education. A new television monitor and Apple TV unit will help enhance our learning environment and improve the students'ability to connect with all the current media and technology outlets. There are so many websites that make learning grammar more interesting than studying it out of a textbook. By having an up to date media system allows me to demonstrate how to properly use the web, find helpful sites, and effectively research.

In addition, students will be able create their own project and share them with their peers by connecting their devices over the Apple TV system.

They get to use the most recent applications and then project them on a medium that gives their work more meaning. Overall, the end result will greatly improve the quality of learning and sharing.
