Underfunded History Dept. Seeks Document Camera

Our history department needs a portable document camera.

  • $1,092 goal

This project expired on July 9, 2008.

This project expired on July 9, 2008.

I teach US history to 8th graders and Utah history to 7th graders. I am in my second year of teaching and love every minute. However, my department could do so much more if given proper funding.

Our school is in Utah which, unfortunately, spends less money per student than ANY other state. Our materials and resources suffer greatly because of lack of funding. Because of the lack of spending on our public schools in Utah, we face a great need for support from generous people who care about education. Although we have the least money, our teachers are ranked very highly compared to other states. Imagine the success that could be had when combining your monetary help with the excellent teachers available.

Our goal is to use this document camera to show how history is learned from primary sources; documents, artifacts, drawings, etc. To demonstrate the process by which history is recorded is sure to spark more excitement about social studies than is presently possessed by our junior high students.

You can be the one who makes the difference in many students’ views and desire to become better history learners and, therefore, better citizens.
