Web Design, Journalism and Yearbook are taught in my classroom. We generate 3 publications on broken down equipment and have no outside financing. It's pretty amazing what kids can do, even under inadequate situations!
Position:
Teacher
Needs:
We need new computers, software and the books to go with them! We also need the tables and chairs to put them on.
My Philosophy:
First and foremost, care about students! I put an effort into understanding their issues, but also push them forward and am just as demanding as any teacher. I'm a project based teacher and demand a lot from my students. It's amazing what they produce on the under resourced equipment in my room!
