My Students

My 7th grade students are able to make the best out of any situation. In recent years the curriculum has mirrored societies utilization of the digital age. However, socioeconomic circumstances that are out of the control of my students have virtually left them on the outskirts of this digital movement with no access to online academic content while they are at home. They don't allow these circumstances to hinder their desire to learn.

It is common practice to empower our students but their ability to empower their teachers has created an environment of pure collaboration across generations that benefits the learning environment.

I have been very fortunate to have students that have shown me how the world is we share can be very different based on our individual interpretations. Their desire to learn has and will continue to empowers me to make their education as unique as they are.

My Project

My goal is to create video instructions to guide my students in their remote learning. My goal/vision for my students is to have them access the assignments and more importantly the information in more than just a written format. I would love to create videos that guide my kids through the lesson. They would be able to see the instructions while exploring the content. We would also gain the ability to "Google Meet" with my kids to interactively provide the lesson for additional support.

Planning for the future: Bringing creativity to Science!

Once we are able to rejoin in the classroom I would love to utilize the editing software to allow my kids to explore their creative sides. Students could use this technology to create songs and videos about the science topics we are learning. Channeling their creativity will allow them to express their understanding in a multitude of ways.
