My Project

When I moved to this country, I aimed to grow professionally and contribute to my community through teaching. To do this, I need technology that will help me manage my classroom better and improve my productivity. The Apple Mac Mini Desktop and Satechi Stand Hub will provide the power and organization I need to stay on top of tasks, while the Apple Magic Mouse will make it easier to navigate and complete work smoothly.

One project I’m particularly excited about is using technology to improve students' Spanish skills.

By learning how to create live streams and recordings, I can make lessons more engaging and interactive. Since our main goal in World Languages is to improve speaking skills, this will allow me to create dynamic content that motivates students and helps them practice speaking in real-world contexts.

This materials will also help me grow as an educator, stay up to date with new teaching methods, and share what I’ve learned with others. Your support will help me build a better classroom, where my students can thrive and reach their full potential.
