The population and the family incomes of my school district are extremely diverse. I am the library media specialist at a middle school catering to seventh and eighth grade students, and our campus has an increasing student body on the free and reduced lunch program.
With budgetary cut backs and families in need, it is difficult to purchase extra supplies to help produce student projects.
My students would like to be able to create movies for their projects. This will enable them to work in any classroom situation, and use cutting edge technology. I am requesting 2 Flip cameras and 2 camera bags with battery chargers.
My Project
Students can use this equipment in their classrooms for generating their finished works. The video cameras will allow our students to take part in all stages of the video process. They will be able to film, edit, and produce their own videos. These videos will be able to be placed on the school website to inspire future students. Your help will make it possible for my students to take ownership of their learning environment, and it will give them pride in their finished product. My student's creativity can shine.
My students do not always have access to hands-on technology, and these cameras help make this possible.
My teachers would like to have projects that have real- world applications for our seventh and eighth grade students. Working with these cameras gives our students the opportunities that they would not have in their home environments.
