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

My high school students are dreamers, builders, and leaders. Unfortunately, they are not given access to many of the tools necessary for success. I aim to train my students in the 21st-century skills that will be required to attain their desired level of greatness. I teach at a Title I school with many students who simply do not have access on their own to reliable technology.

What I want most for my students is for them to be able to take their own future into their hands without being held back by any sorts of limitations.

My students will be those who change the world because they believe they can. In order to do that, they must be able to use the tools of today and tomorrow.

My Project

My students need a Mac mini Desktop computer that is capable of providing the technology my students need to create their own stories. As we try to take advantage of the technology that our students use in their day to day lives, sometimes we need just a little bit more.

This Mac mini computer will be able to keep up with my students so that they are able to make attractive multimedia projects that will bring attention to their stories.

We need this computer so that my students can edit their video journalist projects, as well as process and store all of their sources and B-roll footage.
