Ms. Eastman from Houston TX is requesting technology through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Lights, Camera, Green Screen, Action!

My students need to capture the stories of their learning experiences with a movie-making studio and green screen production kit. A green screen kit, tripods, and microphones will open up endless creative possibilities.

My Students

My students attend a vibrant dual-language immersion school that is just over 4 years old and growing fast. With this rapid growth and expansion, our need for instructional resources and technology have followed suit! We are a public school that was ranked just last year as one of the most diverse in the nation. Our students are diverse culturally, economically, and academically. What they all share in common, however, is creative spirit, powerful imagination, immense curiosity, and strong desire to learn.

My Project

My goal is to create Movie Production Studio with a focus on 21st-century skills, journalism, digital storytelling, and media literacy. A green screen kit, tripods, and microphones will open up endless creative possibilities within the classroom and across the entire campus--from videos capturing evidence and products of dual language learning across the curriculum, to a current events newscast, or weekly announcements for the entire school. Creating public service videos for our school and local community is another way I envision using our Movie Production Studio.

Students will be empowered to create storyboards of ideas, write scripts, make props, and work as a team to direct and produce movies.

Movie-making experiences provide fuel collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking, and help students connect their learning to the real world. As an Instructional Technology Specialist, I will ensure this project will not just help one class but will help students across our school showcase the best of their learning and creativity!
