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

Those who excel are those who know how to use technology well. My students deserve access and exposure to technology to help lead to their success. Currently fifteen teachers in my Science department share one classrooms' worth of laptops. My students deserve their own class set.

My students are part of a Title I school in North Las Vegas.

Over 74% of our students qualify for free-reduced-lunch, and our graduation rate is less than 50%. Only 16% of our students have earned at least one college credit through AP exams, compared to the state's average of 27%. My students are motivated to learn and succeed and deserve access to the tools that will aid their success. I have made my classroom a digital one and while some students are able to bring in their own technology, not all are able to do so. I strive for equity within my classroom and want to provide technology for those who cannot afford it. I also want to provide them with fully functional laptops, which will have many educational benefits. For example, I use the Khan Academy online for remediation of math skills which demands a computer rather than a tablet or phone. My students deserve access to technology that will help them to be more successful.

My Project

Through the generosity of Imagine Schools, I received a donation of twelve laptops that were being phased out due to a Windows upgrade. My plan is for the laptops to be serviced by students in the Computer Club in the following ways: installing new chargers and batteries, installing RAM, formatting hard drives clean, installing Edubuntu - a free operating system, and installing wireless cards. Edubuntu is a clean, intuitive OS that includes other educational software such as one that allows chemistry students to run gas simulations and build molecular models. Students will use the laptops to complete research, Socratic discussions, compile lab reports and run chemistry simulations. The Computer Club will receive valuable experience and troubleshooting exercise. Science students will benefit from added technology in the classroom. Anything remaining is to add educational reference material to my new classrooms' walls to make learning more interactive and visual for students.

I believe my students all deserve access to technology.

Technology is a prominent tool within our society, and an early introduction to real world applications and expectations of technology will lead my students to success. I've been given a gift that makes this technology in my class very possible; I just need a slight push to make it happen. My Computer Club students will get an awesome experience upgrading and refurbishing computers, and my Science students will have access to technology.
