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

The Covid 19 pandemic and the lack of in-person learning had significant impacts on students in terms of engagement, socialization, and attendance. The transition from remote learning to hybrid learning models created several challenges that affected students' academic progress and overall well-being. Without the structure of in person classes and face-to-face learning, students became more disinterested/distracted from their learning and it has led to a decline in their academic performance. Without direct supervision, some students are tempted/engage in other activities like being on their phone over their school work. The purchase of new drone technology can bring the focus and excitement back to the classroom as students will have the opportunity to fly and gain understanding of aerial technology. This can create meaningful conversations and opportunities for students as they get to fly a drone, and create a sense of excitement to be in the Video Production class and using technology that students don't typically have access to.
