We're raising and teaching the creative minds that will be a powerful voice in our present day society. I teach Literacy and Social Studies to 6th grade students in an urban city in Pennsylvania.

When one compares our students to students in countries with similar standings, we find that creating and using technology is a skill that fails to measure up to the powerhouses in the field--India and China come to mind. How then, are teachers to prepare students for life in a multifaceted-technological society? We need tools.

Flip Video Cameras have made transferring movies super fast with a built in USB port. We have software that would allow us to create and edit movies, but without actual footage it's a waste! Creating something--a piece of writing, a work of art, and in our case, a movie, is empowering. When students feel the success that their creative power has given them, you'll be able to see it on their faces and in the way they carry themselves.

With that said... let's empower some students! Together we have the vision, the desire, the resources, and the heart to make it happen!
