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

Doesn't everyone love technology, but hate old technology? My classroom has an amazing Smart board but the laptop that we use is too old and slow to keep up with its functions.

Science is a subject that is constantly changing.

Many of the newer advances in science are not in any textbook and can not be easily described through writing. Most of my students receive free lunch, and come in with very low skills, including about 30% of our students receiving special education services. The Internet can provide these students with new information in a way that is current and dynamic. Accessing the internet in a school with limited supplies is one of the problems of any classroom, especially one that wants to incorporate current ideas. These students deserve access to technology.

My Project

Chemistry is a very abstract subject. Many of the topics that we cover have real life applications, but the science is on an extremely small scale. It is incredibly hard to visualize the matter involved in science due to the small scale and the often complex structures that are involved. Digital images provide students with a clearer idea of what we are talking about. There are lots of interesting videos and pictures that present the chemistry material in an interactive and dynamic way that would not be possible in a traditional classroom. With limited access to this, students are left trying to imagine things that they have never experienced. Thinking about chemistry is a difficult task that most adults probably struggled with themselves in high school. Now ask a student who receives special education services to think about ideas as abstract as an atom. This will surely be a struggle, and every effort should be made to help support these students.

A new laptop would be an extremely helpful tool in helping students better understand what we are talking about.

Students could watch the atoms involved in a chemical reaction break apart and recombine as something new as they balance that same equation. Imagine a chemistry room where students can build their own molecules and then see them in 3-D. A Smart board can bring all of this information to the students when its laptop is fully functional
