My Students

My students are highly creative individuals with a knack for learning. My kids are motivated and excited to do their best in their projects and thinking. They are so creative in their business and technology and they never give up when they are challenged.

My Project

This past year with the pandemic going on, I stepped into a new venture be starting an Introduction to Graphic Design. Our focus was to create a career introduction class that reached out to both the business and technology world. Even with our Hybrid learning, my students were able to explore graphic design and our most successful unit was light painting. Light painting is using camera speed to capture incredible art using light that would be fashioned into: posters, albums and more. However we were limited by our smart camera options.

My students need a new iPad Pro to create amazing light painting with the tablet's options to continue our STEAM curriculum.

The class has become so popular that I am looking at teaching two extra courses of Intro to Graphic Design for the 21-22 school year and my students can't be limited to our current iPads that are slowly starting to go out of date. This iPad will be one of our main device we will not only use for the class, but also for media projects going forward. The world is open to them, whether they are in the classroom or at home.
