Seeing and Hearing Is Believing

Help me give my students the tools they need to create and edit quality videos. They will use the Canon DM 100 microphone to capture quality sound and the Skullcandy headphones to help edit their educational videos.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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 Digital Media students love to shoot and edit videos with their new equipment, learn new techniques of video manipulation, and storytelling.

We have found that the lighting and sound collection could be improved so they would like a shotgun mic to capture the essential sounds while filtering out the undesirable background noises and video light to provide quality lighting while on the go.

As I have a class of 27, my editors would like quality headphones so that they can hear their videos without disturbing the rest of the class. We usually have 5-8 individual projects going on at one time so being able to block out the background noise is a must.
