My Project

For the last almost 3 years these students have been out of school and isolated while keeping people safe during Covid. This has affected my students immensely. They were at home behind a computer where it was hard to be heard. My class is helping students to gain the confidence to be heard again.

In my class students are gaining the confidence to be heard again.

In my class students are learning to communicate through a digital medium where their voice matters and is heard for many years to come. These microphones and camera will help them be heard and be successful when they complete video announcements to report to the school on what's been happening around them.
