My Students

My students are part of the Academy of Information Technology, a four-year Information Technology program. Students learn Introduction to Information Technology (Year 1), Digital Media(Year 2), Web Design(Year 3), and AP Computer Science Principles(Year 4).

We are a STEM / STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) school.

Currently, the Academy of IT has just under 200 students in grade 9-12. More than half of my students are from low-income households. My classroom infuses STEM / STEAM into the curriculum to allow students to have a cross-curriculum instruction that incorporates their core subject areas.

My Project

The Polaroid Camera and the Film will allow for my students to take their pictures and decorate a classroom wall, that we call "The Students of the Academy of Information Technology". Students have loved the idea since we started it this school year, and has allowed for students to see themselves in the classroom, and created a pride of being in an academy and coming to class.

I believe it's important to have your students reflected within the classroom.

Our last Donorschoose project we lucky enough to get funded and we received a Polaroid Camera. Students have been enjoying taken their pictures and decorating our classroom wall with pictures of students who are in the class. The Fujifilm is to get more film so we can take even more pictures. With the school year coming to an end, this new film will be used for new student, as well as students current students.
