Media Students Need a Digital Camera

Funded Oct 19, 2018

My students and I are so grateful to you for supporting our classroom with a new digital camera and tripod. Having the Cannon DSLR camera and tripod available has fostered student learning by providing hands on experiences with great equipment. My students enjoy learning the manual settings of the camera and also caring for the equipment during class and in our photography after-school program. With more of these cameras available in the classroom, students do not have to wait long to use them. And they have been putting the equipment to great use. We are currently working on a portrait unit where students practice taking professional studio portraits of each other experimenting with different angles and lighting. Soon we will be learning about action photography and capturing movement and for this the tripod will be so helpful.

Thanks to your support, I have been able to offer an after-school photography club for anyone interested in learning more about photography. Having multiple cameras allows more students access to great equipment and inspires their creativity.”

With gratitude,
