My Students

I teach in a rural school. My students are part of a multi-grade learning culture. They love the stability, love, and attention they get from school. Our teachers are some of the best educators and most caring individuals, and we are so lucky to have them.

My students are bright, motivated, and full of curiosity.

They may not have the same opportunities or resources afforded to them as some of their peers in other communities, but that doesn't stop them from doing their best and achieving success.

My Project

This Hard drive will make a difference in my student's learning by giving them a place to backup videos and projects. With distance learning, I am creating a lot of video and need an easy place to store it.

My students love being creative.

With our new camera, they will be able to create videos and projects to enhance the learning experience. They will need a place to back up these videos. For example, we are currently raising salmon from eggs. Each day I create a video to add to our digital Salmon Diary which is a great way to document the life cycle of these fish. Later, students will be able to look back or even create a project centered on Salmon in the Classroom and have numerous videos to select to add into their final project.
