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

I am working at NYC Title 1 school which means that they get free lunch and free transportation. I am a theater teacher who desperately trying to do a radio theater production synchronously with remote and live students at the same time. My students look forward to this class because they get to express themselves and be creative. Because of the pandemic, this has impacted their social-emotional learning and they need my class. Under normal circumstances, my students face social and economic hardship. The Pandemic has only made it worse on our students.

My Project

The headphones will make a difference because my students can't afford them. First, they need them to produce and write their plays in virtual learning sessions. In these sessions, they break out into virtual groups and have to hear only the members in their groups.

Finally, the headphones will allow them to perform their radio play during a blended live and remote instruction session.

They hear themselves is through the headphones because some are in class and some are at home due to Covid 19. Finally, they need the headphones to drown out any interfering surrounding sound.
