Celebrating 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
My students need a telephoto lens that can capture images that are far away. Having access to a lens can allow students to reach photography that is not to their reach. They can capture the images necessary with the use of this lens. Not having the necessary technology to fulfill these projects becomes very frustrating for our students. This lens can also be used when students just want to go out and shoot some photography to release some stress, distract the mind and/or complete projects.
We need the technology available to take our projects to the next level.
This piece of technology can be available to students as needed. Taking clear pictures always makes project display so much more presentable.
In our class, they can use the lens to capture images of our school culture and capture images of their community. The projects are endless, let us bring our projects to live. Students become very frustrated when they don't have access to the technology necessary to upgrade their projects. Let's diminish some of the stress.
