Carroll Education Foundation's Grant Recipients and Sponsors 2010

The 45 flip cams for this grant will enable the development of media literacy, higher-order thinking skills, project-based learning experiences, real world relevancy experiences, and a deeper connection to the curriculum. Flip cams are an excellent way to incorporate what students know and love best-technology-into the classroom. When learning, students find a mixture of text, still images, sound and video is more interesting than “chalk and talk.” This grant will allow the Carroll High School English department, as well as other departments, to prepare for a technology-rich future and keep up with change by adopting effective use of technology-rich lessons. The Flip camcorder is a great way to liven up a classroom and make learning accessible to students in a f un and creative way.
