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

Assist me in offering my pupils an alternative approach to learning using technology with a MacBook Air. With the help of this MacBook Air's technology, I will be able to differentiate my instruction by showing my students films, tales, science, math and much more engaging images. When pictures are presented especially for pupils who are learning English as a second language, young children are more likely to learn.

This year, there are several English language learners in my class.

Some of those students began speaking English with just a few words and are now using short sentences. Future-ready technology is something kids want to learn about. Our technology-based teachings have been put on hold because the screen of our prior MacBook Air broke, and I wish to continue providing them lessons that will improve their learning. Please assist me in getting the technology I need to provide an additional learning resource while promoting better overall development.
