My Project

Help my middle school students become innovators and problem-solvers by using multimodal technology such as VR, video, and audio for creative expression and advocacy! I'm passionate about project-based learning (PBL) because it empowers my students to take ownership of their learning, dive deep into real-world issues, and develop the critical thinking and collaboration skills they'll need for the future. Your support of my Donors Choose project, "Help Project-Based Learning Grow in My School," will provide innovative materials and resources that bring 21st century skills to our students for exciting, hands-on learning experiences that will result in an understanding for how to use creative and innovative tools for communication to their community and the world.
