As we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, we honor the rich histories and contributions of Hispanic Americans. But in our digital age, how do we make these celebrations truly meaningful? And how do we turn virtual classrooms into spaces of real cultural exchange? In a world where screens often divide us, one teacher has found a way to use them to unite cultures and ignite understanding.

Joining Kevin P. Chavous today is Paola Stauffer, a high school Spanish teacher at Florida Cyber Charter Academy. She's transforming online education by turning a bedroom in her home into an interactive cultural exhibit and using family recipes to engage students and their families.
