  • History Is Exciting! Can You Hear It?

    Funded Aug 13, 2023

    Thank you so much for this opportunity. I can't wait to present this to my students. They will be so excited to have these in our classroom. This would not be possible without the state of Oklahoma and donors choose. Thank you again for what you do and how this will impact our school.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Alston

    This classroom project was brought to life by The State of Oklahoma.
  • Smile - You're On Camera, And a Part of History!

    Funded Feb 7, 2022

    We just finished up our school year with a review project of creating a picture of any historical figure or event that we discussed. There were 120 students creating very colorful pictures depicting events like the fighting in the Civil War, panning for California Gold, and signing the Constitution. They drafted their ideas on paper first, then we used the green screen, lighting and additional equipment to create wonderful historical pictures...and memories. Thank you again for your support and belief in what can take place in the classroom.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Alston

    This classroom project was brought to life by Oklahoma State Department of Education.
I would love to have a video area with an iPad, green screen, lighting, microphone, etc., and use it to visually place students into "history". I already have space available in my classroom. This would allow students the opportunity to participate in different virtual activities. To physically be placed into the historical topic that we are discussing. History lends itself perfectly with this technology and learning culture. Students can be on a civil war battlefield, in the room of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, or on a ship discovering new worlds. Furthermore, I could use this equipment to create virtual videos for pandemic impacted days. I feel this would tremendously influence the students as they would see themselves as a "part" of history and not "apart" from history.
