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 Project

In low-income communities, it is tough for families to bring technology to the hands of their children at home. While school offers some technology, this is limited by what districts have to offer.

iPads on the other hand, open doors to learning content in a way that students are used to, by playing games.

Students are able to practice typing skills and research skills through an easy-to-use format such as an iPad. Through applications downloaded onto the iPad, my dual language students have access to so many more Spanish games than what is available to them through the district. Help me get them the 21st-century skills they need for the future!
