My Students

I know everyone feels this way, but I have the best students in the world! Our Title I school has been primarily African-American, but over the past two years, our Hispanic population has doubled. We are now about 50-50!

Many of our students come from violence-plagued neighborhoods.

There can be a lot of conflict in their communities, and oftentimes that conflict comes into our school building. I aim to have a library program that welcomes everyone and creates a safe space to learn, grow and create!

My Project

Our district has made the decision that our students will be learning virtually for the first semester of the 20-21 school year. This means that I will be delivering all instruction from my dining room! This technology will allow me to provide all of my students the same rigorous and engaging lessons that they are used to, just from my house rather than the library!

Having options to be able to film myself from various angles will ensure that I can teach to all of the different learning styles of my students.

This technology will be enable me to use my iPad to create both synchronous and non-synchronous lessons from home.
