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 students are kind, caring, hardworking and respectful individuals who are passionate about learning and improving their communication skills. I served students mostly from low-income families, without home internet or parents to guide them at home. The educational opportunity during this crisis is very significant for them as they are still eager to learn and continues to show up at their best and with their happy faces via distance learning.

They enjoy working with me one-on-one or in small groups and constantly try their best.

They worked on a variety of speech and language goals, such as speech articulation, vocabulary, comprehension, sentence formulation, as well as improving their social communication skills and social-emotional well being.

My Project

As many schools remained close, and as educators transitioned to distance learning and utilized different online platforms for synchronous and asynchronous teaching, teachers like me are increasingly finding value in using a dual monitor setup for teaching students online, a green screen for creating virtual backgrounds professionally, and the use of wireless microphones for crystal clear audio sounds.

Going with a two-screen setup using an Apple iMac will help me interact with my students fully by seeing all of their faces on a separate monitor while having access continuously with our lessons, videos, games, or apps that I use during live instruction.

Using dual monitors will enhance my overall productivity by multitasking in terms of delivering live instructions and encourage student participation at the same time. The collapsible green screen will be perfect for virtual lessons on Zoom that will create a professional vibe. In addition, the microphone will also be helpful to deliver a crystal clear audio during live instruction.
