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 students are in an excellent Dual Language program, learning both Spanish and English, in a very low-income area. About 80% of my students are English Language Learners; their first language is Spanish.

Unfortunately, Hurricane Harvey flooded our school and we lost everything!

Many of our students' families lost their homes, leaving them displaced. We have relocated and students are bused to another neighborhood for our school. At the second Meet the Teacher night, students returned with love, appreciation, and that same enthusiasm to learn, even though we were at an unfamiliar location.

And they are very eager to learn and expand their knowledge of the world around them. They just need the resources to help them achieve their dreams.

My Project

I am asking for an iPad and an Apple TV. With these resources my students will be able to follow along the lesson with the teacher. This will increase their efficiency and will allow them to complete more complex projects using a projector and an Apple TV wirelessly connected to the iPad.

My students will be more effective with the help of the Apple TV visually following the lesson on the projector after seeing the teacher's models as their guide using the camera from the IPAD.

They will also be able to get involved in complex creative projects using iMovie and Garage Band.

It is difficult for students to create these technology-based projects without the proper modeling. Currently, if the teacher wanted to model something on the SMART board it takes about 10 minutes to disconnect and reconnect iPads and dongles and the connection is not always reliable. By the time the teacher is able to connect her iPad, their attention has waned and too much instructional time has been wasted.

With an Apple TV, the teacher will be able to seamlessly model lessons on her iPad without losing class time.
