Wonderful students from a rural, high need community, who are eager to learn about what they need to do to ensure they become productive adults who help better our economy and country.

It is no secret that our economy is not in the best shape right now. As matter of fact, today,our school budget was just cut over $300,000. Our administrators are telling us we need to save money and conserve energy anyway we can. Suggestions were given that could possibly help in this area. The first was to be sure all lights and computers are turned off when we leave everyday. The second was to cut down on paper use. Meaning make fewer copies. They said we need to do our part so everyone can keep their job. Fewer teachers means more crowded classrooms and the students suffer. Unfortunately,simply telling students they need to do their part is not always enough. Often, they need to provided with facts and information to help them see and understand what is really going on.

My students and I want to do our part. They truly want to be more informed about things going in our world today. A Visual Presenter can help do that. Using the visual presenter will save on average approximately 200 sheets of paper per day. That's 1000 sheets per week which totals 36,000 sheets per year. That's a lot of paper and that's just for one classroom. Photocopies will not have to be made, which not only saves paper but toner and time as well. Also,less paper use means less trash which helps the environment as well. In addition to helping us become a little "greener", as a business teacher, a V.P. will enable me to share news articles with my students helping them become more knowledgeable about the current state of affairs. Ultimately, affording them the opportunity to become more informed about what they can do to help turn things around. As students research current events, a V.P. will allow them to share and discuss their findings with the class in a much more meaningful way. The student presenting will be able to speak confidently and the students watching can listen with confidence because all the facts are right there for all to see.

Today's youth is tomorrows future. As educators, it is our responsibility to provide our students with as much information as we can to better prepare them for that future. We need to empower them so they can enter the career world with their eyes wide open. You can help open their eyes and keep them from being blind sided by supporting this Video Presenter project.
