The new classroom headphones allow students to focus while editing audio and video projects, and the lavalier microphones have taken our filming quality to the next level—students are so proud to hear their voices clearly in their final videos. The markers for our whiteboard make it easier to brainstorm, storyboard, and plan out creative ideas, and the clipboard helps us film smooth, organized segments for our Digital Media, Information Technology Applications, and Careers classes. In our small rural school, these resources make a huge difference in helping students gain real-world experience in technology and media production.

Now, with professional-level microphones, they're not just learning content—they're learning how to communicate it clearly and confidently. The technology gives them crisp, professional sound, which instantly boosts their pride in their work. They can focus on storytelling, interviewing, and collaboration without worrying about muffled audio or background noise.\r\n\r\nThe most exciting part for my students has been hearing themselves sound \"like real podcasters.\" The adjustable microphone arms make the setup feel authentic, and the students love adjusting the mic height like they've seen in studios. Even the quieter students lean in, literally and figuratively, to share their ideas.\r\n\r\nOne student in particular, who is usually shy in class discussions, has completely warmed up to the new microphones. During our first recording session, he spoke with more confidence than I've ever heard from him. Afterward, he told me, \"I didn't know I could sound like that—I actually sound smart!\" That moment alone made this project worthwhile.\r\n\r\nYour donation didn't just give us equipment—it gave my students the tools to find their voices, tell their stories, and build skills they'll carry into the future. Thank you for believing in them and making this possible.","fullyFundedDate":1742923148448,"projectUrl":"project/the-prairie-podcast-project/9177856/","projectTitle":"The Prairie Podcast Project","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Stroh","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6719318_orig.jpg?crop=1045,1045,x0,y41&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1625966211366","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/deb-stroh"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_78862","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":575,"numTeachers":23,"percentFrplEligible":55,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":51,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":46,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"25.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":52.9,"schoolId":78862,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Gibbon School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Gibbon School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/nebraska/gibbon-public-school-district-2/gibbon-school/78862"}
