Capturing Our Journey: Empowering Student Storytellers with GoPro
Help me give my students the opportunity to become skilled storytellers and digital creators by providing them with a GoPro, empowering them to capture and share their experiences, creativity, and the vibrant life of our school community.

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
Our Goal is to acquire the GoPro HERO12 Black Creator Edition, enabling our students to learn content creation through hands-on experience. This tool will also enhance classroom communication by documenting and sharing our projects, community bike rides, and special events with parents and the wider community.
In a world where digital storytelling and content creation are becoming increasingly important, we recognize the need to equip our students with the skills and tools necessary for success.
A group of enthusiastic students has expressed a keen interest in learning content creation, from filming to editing. To support their ambitions and enhance our classroom's connection with parents and the community, we seek to acquire the GoPro HERO12 Black Creator Edition.
Our current resources are limited when it comes to high-quality video recording and content creation. The GoPro HERO12 Black Creator Edition is a game-changer, offering unparalleled video quality, versatility, and ease of use. With this device, students can create professional-level videos, whether they're documenting classroom projects, capturing the excitement of community bike rides, or creating engaging vlogs. This tool will not only support our students' creative endeavors but also serve as a vital communication channel to share our classroom's highlights and achievements.
The introduction of the GoPro HERO12 Black Creator Edition into our classroom will have a profound impact:
Enhancing Digital Literacy: Students will gain hands-on experience with cutting-edge technology, preparing them for future careers in digital media.
Fostering Creativity: From planning and filming to editing, students will have the freedom to express their unique perspectives and stories.
Building Community: By sharing videos of classroom projects and events, we'll strengthen the bond between our school and the wider community.
Encouraging Active Participation: Documenting activities like community bike rides will promote active participation and highlight the importance of community service and engagement.
