My Students

Imagine, Create, Think, Inform! My students love 21st Century learning. My group of students don't always fit in other groups in school, they don't play sports, they don't play a musical instrument, they don't plan on going away to college; however they have a lot to share with our school and community!

Many of my students can code websites, create podcasts and even inform their peers with on air broadcasting.These talents will create life long learners in the 21st Century.

My Project

Using DJI Spark drones in my classroom at our school, will help us reach the national level for creating broadcasts. Students will be able to do fly overs on area Knox County farms, show casing area farmers. Students will also be able to create stories with drones, by flying over the current football field and showing the need for improvements.

Students will turn these broadcasts into the PBS NewsHour and hope for national air time!

Drone footage, can not be obtained by regular classroom cameras. The need for a drone will only amplify the talent in my classroom.
