My Students

While they have many differences, my students still have a lot of things in common. They are kids who like to have fun and want to succeed and make a difference in their world. My students have shown great potential and I cannot wait to see what they will do as they use their education to impact people around them.

My students are writers, scientists, engineers, artists, politicians, teachers, and much, much more.

They will be fathers, mothers, aunts, uncles, and grandparents who will reach into the lives of future generations and make a change that will alter the destinies of thousands, if not millions.

My Project

Students learn best when they are given the opportunities to teach others. Having a camera that produces high-quality video will allow students to teach others in creative ways. They can create videos as products demonstrating what they have learned in class. We will also be able to use the camera to create videos for clubs such as student council, fellowship of Christian Athletes, and even a student video production club.

My students will be able to capture their education as never before.

Creating videos will allow them to develop their ability to communicate. They will learn not to settle for unclear wording and mumbling. My students will have opportunities to practice speaking about what they care about and real world issues connected to our curriculum.
