Flip Out Over Flip Cams -- Give Creativity a Chance

My students need 4 Flip Video Camcorders to produce digital stories and documentaries for their digital yearbook production.

Hi! I have been teaching for four years at an inner-city high school that serves a large population of Asian-American, Latino, and African-American students. In the fall of 2009, I will be launching a brand new course called "Media Communication & Production," which will challenge students to utilize their creativity in telling stories through digital technology.

My students are extremely creative and inquisitive, yet our school often lacks the funding and resources that allow them to use technology in creative ways. We study, work, and play in a 100-year-old building that is in desperate need of renovation, which makes easy access to state-of-the-art technology a rarity. For example, the yearbook staff has used the same digital camera for the last three years and the case is falling apart. While a digital camera is useful for taking pictures, it is not optimal for taking videos.

I am excited about opening the Media Communication & Production class because I want my students to understand how media technology affects their daily lives and also to create digital stories and documentaries using the flip cam. We hope to showcase their digital stories to our school community and document them in our digital yearbook, which is also a new endeavor for this year.

In order to make this new class successful, we will need your help! By providing flip cams for my students, you will contribute to fostering creative talents and preparing young people to be smart and savvy about how to utilize digital technology. Lastly, just because our school building is 100-years- old, doesn't mean that our learning has to be. We would greatly appreciate your help!
