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 teach 4 sections of high school science regents classes. Each class consists of about 20 students. My school is full of students who are very involved in the community and like to apply what they learn in the classroom to the real world.

50% of the students in each class have learning disabilities, and one student is an English Language learner.

The students in our school are the sweetest and kindest students you can ever meet and they are always willing to bring their creativity and abilities to each of their classes.

My Project

High school science regents courses require students to utilize many references as well utilize their critical thinking skills to ace the class. As a chemistry and Earth Science teacher, I teach 2 regents courses that require students to answer each question by navigating to different pages on the reference table that provides them with crucial equations/information to answer each question. Having another screen side by side with the original screen will serve as a great aid to have these reference tables and materials handy in front of the students at all times. Students don't need to exit their screens and go back and forth to navigate to a different link. Many students with disabilities feel overwhelmed by toggling back and forth through tabs. An extra monitor will be a great accessory in the classroom.

As an educator who teaches a class that has students with disabilities, it would be very helpful to have a USB monitor in the virtual classroom to physically demonstrate scientific mathematical equations, write out given information from word problems, and solve these problems while keeping track of measurement units.

Throughout virtual learning, students lost the experience of physically being in the classroom and experiencing educators model a problem physically on a board. This USB monitor will be the closest students can experience to an in-class experience.

A classroom iPad will aid in blended learning days where teachers can monitor virtual student questions on chat as well check virtual student work while being mobile in the classroom to aid both students in person and at home.
