Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

In the words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.," the function of education is to teach on to think intensively and to think critically. " Because of this, I believe that hands-on experiences infused with technology on a daily basis are important to keep students energized and excited about learning

I assist, instruct and educate students in an institute where 100 percent of its population is on free and reduced-price lunch and from a low socio-economic background.

Seeing a student's face when they fully understand concepts and standards in science, technology, English or mathematics really warms my heart.

My Project

Students often learn first with the eyes, so a good visual always provides a kick-start to a lesson. With so much emphasis on the environment today and global warming, it's more important than ever for students to learn about the world around them. Yet many of the places they need to study are inaccessible. With the Dynamic Drones project, the student will fly over swamps, above trees, into caves, and through countless other places, providing an opportunity to see real plants and animals in their natural habitat.

This project will bring those classroom concepts that seem far in reach, close to home.

The Dynamic Drones project will bring Geography to life as well. Flying a drone over a particular piece of ground and letting students see how that visual perspective is represented on a topographic map can really bring those concepts down to earth — literally.

Even simple calculations like battery life and flight distance can and will be done.

As an extension students will do research on the rights of drones, aviation laws along with privacy and trespassing issues.
