My Students

My classroom is in a small high school in rural northeast Arkansas. My students are determined and passionate about making a difference in this world. They are capable, generous, enthusiastic, and hard-working. I love spending my time inspiring them to do great things.

My students are charged with solving real-world problems using self-directed learning, technology as a tool, community service, and teamwork.

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." ~Margaret Mead

My Project

My students are interviewing veterans for the Veterans History Project of the Library of Congress American Folklife Center. Our goal is to collect and preserve interviews of veterans from our community and surrounding area. We believe it is vitally important to record these memories so that their firsthand account of history is preserved. Each interview will be permanently preserved at the Library of Congress for future generations to enjoy. After talking to the veterans, my students are inspired by their sense of honor and duty shown to their country.

The donations for this project will help to improve the sound quality of our interviews with our veterans.

This past school year my students organized our school's first annual Veterans Day Program. As part of this program, we interviewed a 97 year old World War II veteran. The sound quality from our video camera was poor and made the interview hard to understand. These stories are important and should be recorded in a way that can be heard clearly. A Rode VMPR VideoMic Pro R and a Rode Deadcat Wind Muff Microphone Cover will both help provide us with quality, professional equipment which will make future interviews much improved.
