My Project

I've been lucky enought to teach teachnology for the last 15 years. Much has change from when I was young and in school. One thing has not changed, the need for students to have a creative outlet. These video cards will me the opportunity to do that for them,

We live in a different time and need to change how we reach our students.

Technology has advanced and we now live in their world. To teach them in their world I need the right tools. Whether it be esports, video game design or video editing I need the right hardware to teach. These video cards will let me do just that!

Technology has been become very expensive and we must raise to the occasion and provide this generation with the experinces and tools they need to be ready for 21st century careers. Teaching video game design or video editing is one way of doing That. Streaming video content like netflix or youtube means we need people who know how to work with content. The growing interest of gamification in education has tapped into the curiosity of my students and I need the tools to capitalize on it. Teaching 3D animation or game design will help make my students creators not just consumers.

These video cards can give me what I need to teach my students to be ready for the future.
