Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

One of my favorite things about working with our student news crew is giving them a chance to share what is happening at our school. There are so many ways for students to contribute, whether they enjoy being on camera, writing announcements, or working behind the scenes.

We already have some equipment, and these additions will help us take the next step with recording from multiple camera angles.

Two COMAN video tripods will keep our cameras steady. An Acer monitor will let our student director see the camera views and decide when to switch shots. Shure headphones will help students check that our anchors can be heard clearly, and a SanDisk portable SSD will give us space to record and save our videos.

Students will practice speaking clearly, planning ahead, solving problems, and following through on their responsibilities. Each episode gives them a chance to work together and create something they can proudly share with our school community.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
