The school district provides each teacher with a laptop. But those laptops are not equipped to handle high end video production. For seven years I've used a wonderful computer to create hundreds of videos for school and cable TV. But that computer is due to be retired from our network at the end of the current school year. To continue this work, I need a replacement computer with similar memory, processing speed, software, etc. I would also like to request a new portable green screen, because my current area for photography is being displaced next school year, and I would need a green screen to fit my computer lab. I am also requesting 4 sets of: small portable green screen, tripod with iPad mount so that my teachers and students can create their own video productions. I am asking for 4 sets that would be placed in Grades 2-5.Teachers and students could easily share this equipment. I am asking for 16 licenses for the green screen app so we can put the app on 2 iPads in each classroom Grades 2-5. (We have two classes of each grade level). If we don't have this many apps installed, it will be very difficult as students will have to always borrow iPads. Describe how the community will benefit from your request:: We will air our video productions on cable TV. For the past seven years, I've submitted many programs to Mediacom, ranging from news shows to feature length movies. I think Sageville School can be a leader in the school district for video productions.These types of projects engage students because they can be creative, have an authentic audience and find it very motivational when preparing for such projects. Students get experience writing, speaking and seeing the technical side of video production.
