Speak Out

Help me give my students professional quality microphones for producing public service announcements and voice overs for videos about human population growth and its effect on the environment.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Scilingo's classroom raised $491

My Project

Students will be creating videos and public service announcements. They will produce videos which address the global challenges related to human population growth and share their solutions. For Earth Day in April, they will produce Public Service announcements to promote increased stewardship of the earth's resources.

Providing access to nice microphones can enhance the quality of student-produced videos and empower students to explore their creativity and storytelling skills.

When students are given high quality tools, they produce higher quality products. Students can create videos that have a polished and professional look and feel. Hopefully this will increase the credibility of their content and instill confidence in the students' expression of their own voice.
