Morning Announcements LIVE via Workplace
Funded Feb 25, 2019We are all very excited with our new donation. We received new Apple 9.7 inch iPad with wi-fi, a Blue Microphone with USB and a rugged flexible tripod. The iPad has been a great addition to recording and editing our daily news. With features like iMovie we can edit and email videos very quickly. The new microphone records amazing sounds even if a student doesn't project their voice to hear them clearly. The tripod has also been a great asset, this allows students to keep a steady image.
What's most exciting is the iPad! It is sleek and fast. Editing video through iMovie is fun for them to do. Everyday they become more creative with their work.
The students that have really taken advantage of the new technology are the morning news team students. They learn from each other and share the equipment with enthusiasm.”

Search and Discover!
Funded Oct 3, 2018Technology is helping my students by making it easier to search for titles that in our media center. It is so exciting to see students search for their favorite books. The ease of having an iPad accessible to search for books has made the search for titles more efficient. The students have become independent in searching the Destiny catalog for books and finding them on the shelves. My third-grade students especially love this new feature the media center has to offer. They go the iPad, that is located on the circulation desk, pick it up, go to the Destiny catalog and search for their titles. Once on Destiny they look for the CALL # and go to that area in media center. There is no need to write down the information, the iPad has replaced the paper and pencil and reduced waste. We are so grateful to have this new resource in the media center.”

This classroom project was brought to life by Chevron Fuel Your School.New Laptop Wanted
Funded Oct 23, 2017The students and I are beyond thrilled. The new DELL is fast and so easy to use. We are really enjoying the touch screen features which allow us to write on the screen. The fact that it folds into a tablet is cool too! It folds into a very thin, light computer. The large screen is absolutely the best monitor, it is bright and the colors look fantastic. Pictures and video look beautiful and the extreme definition screen resolution makes images look like they are really there.
We have been able to have fun while creating our new videos! We are very grateful!”

Can You Hear Us Now?
Funded Mar 6, 2017We are so thankful for your generous donations. Our media center is constant need for updated technology and equipment. Our students learn the value of caring for equipment and how to use them correctly. The news anchors were thrilled the new microphones. Having three mics instead of our usual two makes it easier for the news team to add a sports anchor or special guest. The tripod comes in handy as well! We can record ourselves and record special announcements such as student of the month. What the students are truly enjoying is the portable speaker. We can play music during announcements. We are all excited with our new equipment.”

Jump for Joy at our Media Center!
Funded Dec 10, 2014Thank You!!!! We are so excited and filled with emotion that you donated to our project. The students at our school will have more reason to visit the Media Center with a Nintendo Wii Gaming system.
With the new supplies purchased I hope to get students moving and excited by integrating technology, exercise and the library. Students love gaming, I hope to teach them to use this popular device and create connections with them and Media Center.
We will hopefully attract students they may not have shown interest. We are moving closer to creating a state of the art Media Center thanks to you!”

The Untouchable Take 2!
Funded Mar 25, 2014Having this resource in our library has made for more efficient use of time. With the use of the Air Mac students are able to access information, take video, email video and view work on one device! We are currently working on getting iDVD which will assist us in creating video for commercials we will create. Having a "fancy" computer such as the apple mac students are willing to participate and give extra time to school just to use this device. Once again I super appreciative for my friends, family and matching donors!”
