Hi All! I am Carolina Hernandez and I teach deaf and hard of hearing students in Los Angeles. The spectrum of teaching deaf and hard of hearing students varies from signing to auditory oral programs and it all depends on what is the best fit for families. I teach in listening and spoken language program and only know basic sign language. There are still many challenges that our students face. I love teaching because I love learning. I find that sharing new learning with others is a way to expand our brain cells and view different perspectives. I also love seeing children engage in their own understanding of the world with the appropriate support and care. One of the digital tools I love to use in my class is Kahoot. Children love to compete and get excited to share what they know, but it also teaches them that we may all be knowledgeable, but do not always get the spotlight. We all shine in different areas.
Welcome aboard, Carolina! I'm looking forward to seeing what you have to share in the next few weeks.
Hi Carolina - Looking forward to working together. I have to believe geospatial technologies and mapping can be useful tools for teaching the hearing and visually impaired. Please reach out with any questions along the way.
