We have been using it almost daily in class and on our recent trip to Orlando! I've been using various mounting methods to capture new perspectives. On our trip, I found myself wearing the camera all day long, always ready to capture the fun exchanges and interactions between the members of the ensemble. I will be bringing it on the upcoming Freshman trip as well! \r\n \r\nI have been attaching the camera to all sorts of things including their music stands, to the white board, and to the drumset. I am positive that the parents and students will really enjoy the new creative ways we can document our lives while in orchestra. I'd say the only issue I have is that I now have SO much content, its definitely going to make organizing and editing the yearbook a much bigger project. Well worth it, though! \r\n\r\nThank you again for your kindness and generosity! We truly appreciate this new tool for our classroom. We will continue to use this camera for years to come and it will benefit countless orchestra students and their families.","fullyFundedDate":1774462446956,"projectUrl":"project/tiny-camera-for-a-big-orchestra/10147263/","projectTitle":"Tiny Camera for a Big Orchestra","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Campbell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3121643_orig.jpg?crop=528,528,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1597513196769","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3121643"},{"teacherId":3647794,"projectId":9738546,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your contribution to our Donors Choose project!

We used the printer to do an in-service on Gelli Prints and we were able to transfer printed images that we could then manipulate with various media, including underglaze. We are looking forward to bringing this technique into all art classes.
