Greater Los Angeles | Meet Ms. Salazar

This month, we invite you to meet Ms. Salazar who teaches 7th grade social studies.

How she uses technology in the classroom to personalize learning:
“One of the tech tools I use is Google Earth where students can analyze the geographical layout of different continents. I want to give my students a perspective of the real world given that some students may only know a two-mile radius.”

How using tech tools in the classroom relates to the PowerMyLearning Framework for Teachers: 
Tech tools encourage student agency. “The teacher fosters students’ enthusiasm and curiosity by showing them how to self-remediate and how to explore content beyond the assignment to extend their learning.”

Favorite part about teaching: 
“Teachers are always learning, both from teaching experience and from students. Teaching also helps me learn more about myself. As a teacher, there is always something to learn.”

Favorite student quote:
When reading historical excerpts – “But Miss, why were women treated like that?”
