My Students

Our educational world is changing so quickly and our students need to stay current on technology as they discover the myriad of ways technology connects to learning! Students are eager to discover filmmaking as a way to tell their environmental stories. Please help us express ourselves!

My 5th and 6th grade students want to learn and share their ideas with others through the visual art of film making!

My students are filled with so many creative ideas of ways to save their world and they want to move beyond using paper to tell their stories. They want to make films, to express their ideas and to share them with their school community. They are the actors, the writers, the directors and the editors, from start to finish, seeing the ways that art can visually express their personal messages through the art of film making. These students see the endless possibilities that a Panasonic video camera can bring to learning and are willing to spend countless hours developing and creating their movie.

My Project

A Panasonic Video Camera would connect learning for my students as they discover the art of film making as a way to tell others their visual stories. Students of today must see that life connects to learning and that the camera can be a wonderful avenue for spreading their message.

Please consider helping my students see the potential that exists today in a creative classroom by donating to our need for a Panasonic video camera!

Our students need a Panasonic video camera to film their personal messages for saving their world!
