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

LEARNING IN THE TIME OF CORONA has tested my second grade students' resilience, resourcefulness, and adaptability.

The same striving spirit that drove their families' immigrant dreams now fuels an enduring commitment to bridge the digital divide, overcome language barriers, and rise above economic hardship.

I marvel everyday at my students' persistence and fierce dedication to mastering computer skills and use these to practice, learn, and interact in meaningful ways with one another and with me, their teacher.

My Project

The virtual classroom for young learners must be carefully curated to reflect sound pedagogy, a dynamic multi-sensory experience, and clearly visible models, operations, and instructions. My second grade students are young learners who learn best when all sources of information are presented in a seamlessly aligned, well coordinated, and mutually reinforcing manner.

The iPad Pro and iPencil will allow me to create pre-recorded videos to embed in live synchronous instruction slides or to share with students as an asynchronous lesson, a tutorial, or differentiated instruction.

To be dynamic, engaging, and relevant, my online teaching practice relies on frequent shifts in camera shots that capture my face, math manipulatives, a white board on the wall, and/or the pages of a storybook, or a writing journal. The iPad Pro and iPencil will be synched with my cell phone camera to weave together all the essential elements of my virtual classroom as I toggle back and forth between the teacher's face (expression), hands (modeling with manipulatives/props), and visual displays (posters, white board, story books, etc).
