Power Us Up!

My students need rechargeable batteries and a charger so they can power up their projects and protect the environment!

My Students

Spring is in full bloom, and just when we should be charging forward, we are feeling powerless. Why? Our batteries are dead!

We are an innovative high school which uses project-based learning to engage students.

We want all our students to be college-ready by the time they graduate. To this end, we teach not only the 3 R's, but also the 3 T's: Trying, Teamwork, and Technology. Our students live in one of the poorest counties in our state, but they are eager and enthusiastic - especially when they can get their hands on cameras, recorders, and computers.

My Project

State budget cuts have not allowed us to order the "little" things that keep our school technology running - things like batteries. Our dead batteries are collecting in a little "coffin", waiting to be delivered to the local recycling center on our next trip. The box is nearly full, which means our cameras are nearly empty. I hope to restock the cameras for our last project of the year - one designed to help my students ace their end-of-course English test. For this project, student teams of two will review their areas of confusion in grammar, then use Flip cameras, digital cameras, and voice recorders to produce an engaging short film wherein they teach the rest of the class. Through Trying, Teamwork, and Technology, our student teachers will achieve greater understanding and confidence. With rechargeable batteries, my students will have the power to complete many, many more projects to come, and to help preserve the environment as well.

We can power-up our cameras and recorders by using rechargeable NiMH batteries.

These environmentally-friendly power sources will help empower my students' learning, and not just in English content. A real-world lesson comes too - one that students can take home with them. They will see that using rechargeable batteries can help not just Mother Earth, but Mom's bank account.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
