My Students

ECMS students are bright, energetic, and have a variety of interests. Many are heavily invested in their own education and demonstrate this by producing very distinguishing products in each of their classes. This holds very true especially for students who participate in the Visual Arts program. Students have a desire to learn how to make art and learn how to use as many materials as possible as well in order to express themselves.

Today's ECMS students are a part of the digital generation.

As our students make their way through middle school, it is our desire to help them graduate with the knowledge that technology is a very useful tool to enhance the educational process. It is important to us to guide them through being more reflective and continue to strengthen their critical thinking skills along the way.

My Project

A digital portfolio allows people to express who they are as well as their academic accomplishments to an intended audience such as an advanced program or potential employer. Our students today are learning in an environment which provides them access to faster forms of communication, therefore we want to teach them how to produce a digital portfolio which can allow them to stay competitive with an ever-changing world. In order to produce digital portfolios in visual arts, we are asking for ten Chromebook laptop devices so that we have more current form of technology to do so.

My students are excited to share their artwork and accomplishments.

Brand new laptops will enable my students to set up stations in my classroom while I teach them how to digitally catalog their artwork, organize how and where it is stored, and then learn how to access it to create a digital portfolio. With this knowledge, my students will be able to apply these skills to any digital platform which will help them become more college and career ready.
