My Students

Hello! My name is Holly Ford and I am an 8th grade digital literacy teacher. My job is to help students gain computer skills needed for the real world. I love to do hands-on projects to do this, and so do my students. My students are from a rural area with mixed incomes. There are a high percentage of students who ranch and farm, as well as families that are more urban and thrive in neighborhoods. Our town only has one middle school with 6 elementary schools that feed into it, so it is a melting pot of students combined together, but they all are very motivated by technology. My group this year is very motivated to learn about how the actual computer works and love to create things. At our school, we are working on creating a positive school culture, and we've used technology heavily to do so.

My Project

These supplies will allow students to create their own circuit boards and discover which supplies are conductors verses insulators. Using conductors, students will create circuits using Makey Makey circuit boards and attach them to their keyboards, essentially, they will make their own working keyboards. This reinforces input and output devices. They will also use headphones to follow along with videos and use self help options. This is especially important with increased student absences. These headphones will also be used in to create videos and podcasts that they will be required to edit and format.
