Celebrating 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 are spirited and joyful 6th graders, who are interested in coding, enjoy writing and socializing. A third of my class is ESL, a few are SPED and a couple have tailored 504 plans. They enjoy storytelling and recognizing each other and supporting each other on good days and bad ones. Lately, my computer freezes or is slow. The glitches increase and have a negative impact on my students' achievement and they want to learn how to code. Each student requires my personalized attention every day to provide academic assistance and encouragement during virtual instruction and learning.
My Project
I am learning how to code with students. I'd like them to learn with SCRATCH and other programs such as BRAINPOP how to be the future software engineers. Every day I market reading, writing, speaking and listening skills, and game based instruction sells the best to engage students as the entry point to get into history, English Literature, science, and languages. My hardware has failed me.
With a reliable IPAD and pencil, I will use it as a creative platform to engage students with our code projects and game based instruction.
The students are learning how to create a newscast or narrative with a creative coding program on BrainPop, Scratch, which will lead them to learn additional software languages. I am learning, too, along with the students. Sometimes, I am the teacher and other times the students teach me how to teach them best. I have learned that my useful PC hardware does not suffice to the demands and requirements of my students during my personalize learning time and instruction in class.
Learning outcomes are to set the foundation for future STEAM engineers. I want my 13 students to practice and use Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Science as well as other languages to solve the future problems of the world and get along with others every day. I don't know what the future may bring but I will mentor and grow students daily so they will be prepared, be willing to take on challenges, and be innovative as advocates and stewards of their communities.
