Thanks to you, every group was able to film and edit their work independently on quality equipment. Instead of taking turns or rushing to share limited resources, students were fully engaged—planning shots, rehearsing lyrics, recording audio, and revising their music videos with intention and pride. Some students who are typically hesitant to participate in class discussions found their voice behind the camera or during editing. Others stepped into leadership roles, helping peers frame shots, adjust sound, or troubleshoot technology. The microphones allowed students to clearly capture their lyrics, and the tripods made a huge difference as well—students quickly learned how stability and framing affect storytelling. These weren't just \"fun tools\"; they became authentic learning instruments that supported collaboration, critical thinking, and communication skills. \r\n\r\nMy favorite moment was watching groups rewatch their footage—not to laugh or rush through it—but to revise, refine, and improve their work. They wanted it to be good. The sense of ownership and pride was evident all around.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in my students and investing in their creativity, voices, and learning. Your support has given them tools they will continue to use across subjects and projects, and it has elevated what learning looks like in our classroom. We are truly grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1763922994250,"projectUrl":"project/lights-camera-action-student-voices-o/9623370/","projectTitle":"Lights, Camera, Action!
