I teach 3rd & 4th grade combination in a suburb of Charlotte, North Carolina. My students are bright, eager to learn, and full of hopes and dreams. They come from a variety of backgrounds and work together in pairs, small groups, and individually to show mastery in Math & Science. They are so excited to create multimedia projects! We will capture the real world in both areas of curricula! This is my 25th year as an educator and I hope to provide this special group with experiences they will forever remember!
My Project
I am writing this grant to obtain 2 fuji instant cameras and film for my students to make real-world connections and capture images of the world around them! We have begun Science Fair Projects that will require observations and photographs of their experiments. We will also be making real-world connections to the every day math that is found day to day!
A real-world connection means that students see a reason to do this project, other than the fact that I assign it and they will get a grade on it.
There are so many ways to connect to the real world that even beginners to the multimedia approach can design a project that students will find worthwhile. A multimedia project with a strong real-world connection, you can hardly go wrong. Student engagement is just about guaranteed. It is my hope that my students will work hard on now and remember for a long time.
