  • Bringing History to Life Virtually

    Funded Jan 15, 2025

    Thank you so much for your generous support of our classroom’s project, Bringing History and Culture to Life: Immersive Learning with Oculus Quest. Your contribution has opened up incredible opportunities for my students to explore the world and dive into history in ways that were once unimaginable.

    With the Oculus Quest, my students can now step into ancient civilizations, explore distant cultures, and interact with geography in a way that makes learning exciting, engaging, and unforgettable. This technology is not just a tool—it’s a bridge to new perspectives and deeper understanding.

    Your kindness and belief in the power of education have inspired us all. My students and I are incredibly grateful for your support, and we can’t wait to share stories of how this project has transformed our classroom. Thank you for making a lasting impact on their learning journey!”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Edwards

  • Economics from the Air

    Funded Feb 1, 2022

    First and foremost, let me express my gratitude once again for allowing my student and I this opportunity to step out of the classroom and into a learning environment that allows us to use modern technology to excite students and differentiate learning. My student rarely have the opportunity to learn with new and innovative learning methods due to being in a low-income community and also being an Alternative Learning Environment school. A lot of times, we are stuck with using hand-me-down classroom materials. Being able to use technology that they have only heard about or seen in videos, brings with it the possibilities of what they are actually able to do in world and gives them hope for the future.

    My students have especially loved to see their community from a bird's eye view. Being able to see the environment they are familiar with from the sky instead of the ground has given them a deeper understanding of how big the world actually is. My students are always eager to step outside for a flight day and some are even interested in learning to fly a drone for themselves. Again, we thank you for everything!”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Edwards

  • Education From Above

    Funded Oct 4, 2019

    First of all, I would like to say thank you once again for helping my students with this project. My students were so excited to explore educational opportunities that this project presented to them. Although we have completed our first project, we have so much more planned for the future and we are so happy to share them with you.

    We began with something introductory. (I had to learn about the drone at the same time as the students). We decided to introduce the students to cartography, or the science of drawing maps. This is especially useful in science and history subjects. It also incorporates elements of mathematics. We flew the drone as high as we could and took pictures of our surrounding neighborhood. Then we brought that information back to the classroom and used it to make maps.

    Like many new technologies implemented into classroom curriculum, drones are another engaging method of integrating STEM (science, engineering, technology, and mathematics) education. Technology teachers are always looking for ways to engage students and provide meaningful lessons that will impact their students lives. This curriculum shows significant promise through its exciting and dynamic approach to teach programming and technology. It should prove exceptionally motivating to students and teachers. The curriculum is easy to implement and takes the students to a new level of active learning. This will be a new and exciting part of technology and my curriculum for years to come.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Edwards

This drone is to be used for Student Council activities in and around the community. Our SGA is encouraged to document their activities. With this drone, they will be able to expand their method of documentation of community service and other related activities. In addition, the drone will be used to collaborate with students throughout the school in helping to develop the school’s website and other social media platforms. This drone will also be used by other teachers during collaborative lessons. Our school specializes in teaching through alternative methods. This gives students a more relatable learning experience that will stick with them for many years to come and help them think outside the box.
