It allows students to deliver their scripts with confidence and professionalism, reducing the pressure of memorization. By focusing on pacing, tone, and delivery, students are improving their public speaking and communication skills. It also enhances collaboration, as students take turns writing, editing, and presenting scripts while supporting each other in production roles. The teleprompter encourages creativity and ensures that all students, regardless of reading speed or public speaking anxiety, can shine in front of the camera.\r\n\r\nStudents are most excited about how professional the teleprompter makes them feel! They love seeing their words scroll smoothly on the screen and feel like real newscasters or YouTubers. It adds an authentic touch to their productions, making their work feel polished and ready for a wider audience. They also enjoy experimenting with it, from trying out different speeds to perfecting their delivery for morning announcements and creative projects like commercials or documentary-style videos.\r\n\r\nThis technology has created opportunities for all students to feel empowered, whether they're behind or in front of the camera.","fullyFundedDate":1731509690505,"projectUrl":"project/lights-camera-confidence-empower-our/8678323/","projectTitle":"\"Lights, Camera, Confidence: Empower Our Students with a Teleprompter!\"","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Rojo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3546894_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1459374614353","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/rojo5th"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_122754","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":401,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":76,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":10,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":75,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"7 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Record","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":80.5,"schoolId":122754,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Summit Charter Intermediate Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Summit Charter Intermediate Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/burton-school-district/summit-charter-intermediate-academy/122754"}
