Applying Learning to Today's World

Help me give my students tools to apply learning in Geometry and podcasting classes!

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Reeck's classroom raised $1,164

This project is fully funded

My Project

I've taught for 22 years, and today's students are interested in applying their learning now more than ever. I'm enhancing my "Podcasting and Storytelling" equipment so I can expand the idea of the recorded voice into AP Research and AP Seminar classes I teach. We will conduct interviews and hold focus groups to collect data in order to understand qualitative data sets. The measuring devices in my project are for my geometry students to apply angles and measurements to trees, shadows, and angles of elevation and depression. This equipment allows us to get outside the walls of the classroom!
