Help Us Go Green!!!

My students need a document camera to access class material as well as present their own work without wasting paper on numerous copies!!!

I teach eleventh grade in a high need community in St. Louis. I teach at a highly unique school which targets high school students who are not successful, for a variety of reasons, in the traditional school setting. We are a small school and our focus is "one student at a time." We individualize the learning process and rely heavily on individual student interests/passions and find ways to connect those interests with real world experiences, and then connect that to classroom curriculum. Students work on individualized projects and share their knowledge on a regular basis with their peers. The students present Exhibitions every quarter in which they share work that they have completed throughout the quarter to show mastery of objectives. Instead of every student making copies of their evidence of work, the document camera would be a great way to help us share the knowledge without wasting a ton of paper on copies!

We have run into the obstacle of lack of resources at the school to make copies. We are often out of paper for long periods of time and often the one copier that we have at the school is jammed and we cannot make copies when we do have the paper! My students did a project on Going Green last quarter, and they really started to notice how much paper is wasted on copies throughout the year. They asked me if there was a way to cut down on the copies but still give them the information. They created their own idea of how they could go green in the classroom, and this document camera would help them reach that goal!

Not only will it cut down on paper use, it will give my students a tool to access the information that they need to help ensure that they are completely prepared for college.

My students came up with this idea after studying ways to go green, and you could help make that dream a reality! Not only would you be helping my students, you would also be helping the earth! You will make them realize that this project, a combination of education and going green is important. This would really make a difference.
