Help me give my students an iPad mini 4, LimoStudio 10 Foot X 12 Foot Green Chromakey Photo Video Photography Studio and the LimoStudio Backdrop Support Structure System Kit.
My students are Deaf or Hard of Hearing and come from many different backgrounds. They use American Sign Language (ASL) to communicate. Most students have very low language and academic skills when they first come to me due to lack of access to language in earlier years. This creates a long road ahead of us as we work to minimize those large gaps.
My students attend an urban school where one hundred percent of the students receive free breakfast and lunch.
The students come from many different backgrounds and face many different challenges in their day-to-day lives. There are many single income families, families that are homeless and families that are receiving assistance in one form or another.
This year, I have seven students: three second graders, three fourth graders and one in fifth grade. Most of my students' language and communication skills are very low. My challenge is to teach them their language, ASL, and academics at the same time. It is a tough challenge, and my students give me their best effort every day.
My Project
The possibilities are endless with a green screen in the classroom! One of my ideas for my students is to create or re-create ASL stories (ABC/123 stories). It will be so exciting to see what they can come up with! Deaf history and Deaf culture is so important in my students lives. So, being able to teach it in such a creative way would be amazing for my students.
My students will be able to be part of the entire creative process through picking the backgrounds, making the videos, editing and creating the end product!
My students' creativity comes naturally to them because they are such visual learners. So, having these tools is key to inspiring my students in a way I never thought would be possible.
Please help me in getting this funded by sharing to friends and family and donating what you can. Thank you!
