Please submit in the comment section below your mini-grant addressing these three areas.

Thanks.

Specific Aim / Goal: A few sentences on the educational goal / outcome for your students and you made possible by equipment/supplies puchased with mini-grant.

My goal for the use of the Flip Camera purchased with the stipend is to videotape my students and have them create videos.  

If I teach science next year, I would use the camera to show demos before our lab experiences. I would also like the students to create their own videos.  I would have the students use the Flip camera to create movies about their science fair projects.

My main goal is to extend my last year's Blue Ribbon project, www.blueribbonmovie.com. This is not a science project, but I plan toues this as their Service Learning Project. This project is an ongoing appreciation project. Each person receives 3 ribbons. The 1st ribbon is given to that person by someone who tells them how they have made a difference in their lives. That person gives the 2nd ribbon to a person who has made a difference in their lives & explains how they have made this difference. A ribbon is also given to that person with the directions, to pass it on to someone who has made a difference in their life & to tell them how they made a difference. 

The inquiry portion of this project is to see if this positive recognition will change the climate in our classroom & in the school to a more positive climate.

The technology portion is the filming & creation of videos, either in science class, RELA, or in both classes.

I also plan to have the students to incorporate Scratch projects again either in science or RELA class or both.

Proposal: Brief description of how you plan to use the equipment in your classroom to reach your educational goal.

The equipment will assist me in reaching my goal of having the students create videos. I hope to have 2 cameras, so the students can have more access to use the camera for filming.

Equipment: Description of the equipment you plan to purchase.

I plan to use the Flip Camera for student created videos. I am actually hoping to purchase 2 Flip Cameras.

I will also have to buy film for the camera(s)

If there is extra money I would like to purchase a camera case & possibly a tri-pod.
