My Project

Our students have shown great interest in learning opportunities that enhance engagement and foster creativity. Leaning into popular culture, the idea of a school and education themed podcast has emerged, but we need help with the technology to keep creating!! "Faces of ACE" podcast gives students the reins to write, create, edit, and share what is important to them!!

An iPad will be used by groups of students to explore multimedia tools, from video editing software to podcasting platforms, empowering them to express their ideas in dynamic and innovative ways.

By producing informative content, students are able to deepen their research skills, sharpen their communication and social skills, and they learn to articulate concepts in a clear and concise manner. Self-esteem is also increased in students when they see their projects come to life!!

In addition, our student video creations and podcasting will encourage collaborative learning and peer-to-peer knowledge sharing. Through collaborative projects, students can work together to research, script, and produce content that resonates with their peers. This cultivates teamwork and communication skills but also nurtures a sense of ownership and pride in their work!! We can't wait to keep creating!!
