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 come from various family backgrounds with the majority of my students being members of minority groups. Ninety two percent of them are economically disadvantaged, so they may not have access to technology outside of the educational setting.

The goal of this grant to provide my students with the development of technology skills that will help them not only in my class, but also help them in life after they leave my classroom.

Many of the students in my classroom are ESL students at various levels of language acquisition. What they do have going for them is their curiosity! My students are very inquisitive, and I use that to bring history alive for them.

My Project

Most of the students that I teach are ESL students that will benefit from using technology in the classroom. My goal for them is I want them to learn how to use various web 2.0 tools such as: Google Classroom, Flip Grid, Animoto, Quizlet, Padlet, Prezi, Kahoot, Brainpop, Nearpod, and Edpuzzle to name a few.

I am requesting 11 Chromebooks that I will use in my Texas history classroom to increase student engagement, motivation and expand learning experiences.

The technology will also help me improve the educational productivity of my students by accelerating the rate of learning through student generated classroom projects for each of the units of the Texas history course.
