We have already seen a noticeable increase in excitement and engagement since introducing the recording technology you helped make possible. Students are now recording and sharing their experiences and perspectives, using these tools to capture images and sounds that cannot easily be conveyed through traditional methods.\r\n\r\nBecause of this opportunity, students have begun thinking more carefully about how different audiences might view their work. They are actively practicing skills that extend beyond this project—brainstorming ideas, planning their work, and revising those plans when needed. In a world where technology increasingly supports human creativity and communication, it is encouraging to see our students becoming familiar with these tools and learning how to use them to express their own ideas.\r\n\r\nJust as importantly, this work is helping students connect with the world beyond the classroom. There is so much beauty, knowledge, and important causes to share, and it has been wonderful to watch young people develop the skills needed to communicate meaningfully with the audiences they care about.\r\n\r\nI would also like to personally thank you for boosting morale within our school community. When students see that people in their community believe in them, they approach their work with greater enthusiasm and pride. It is as though they recognize they have been given an opportunity to open a window into their world and share it with others.\r\n\r\nI am deeply grateful to my students for their creativity and dedication, and to you for helping make this experience possible. Your support has broadened opportunities for them and for me as an educator.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your generosity and belief in our students.","fullyFundedDate":1764636081987,"projectUrl":"project/documentary-project-to-capture-learning/9845251/","projectTitle":"Documentary Project to Capture Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Scott","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4161332_orig.jpg?crop=2979,2979,x0,y556&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1760805559709","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4161332"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_49073","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":125,"numTeachers":51,"percentFrplEligible":71,"percentAsian":7,"percentBlack":27,"percentWhite":13,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":41,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Not specified","studentTeacherRatio":"2.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Record","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":73.2,"schoolId":49073,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about McKinley School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"McKinley School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/massachusetts/boston-public-schools/mckinley-middle-school/49073"}
