The Description

We are raising funds to purchase equipment for our audio/video club.  I work with an inspiring group of innovative, curious students, who love challenging and engaging projects that allow them to problem solve, write, use their creativity and think outside the box.  

They come to my class daily, ready to try something new and enhance their skills to produce a faith based broadcast about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. They take chances in trying out new ways to capture an audience’s attention or share mini lessons for younger students. They love to share the knowledge they’ve learned with the students who watch the videos.  They are a very inspiring young group.  It is my great pleasure to work with such an enthusiastic group of students who want to learn and improve themselves, not only socially but academically. 

Using the audio visual equipment to create a broadcast can create a great way to supplement formal education. Using audio visual equipment  can help students to be stimulated from all points of view and to be convinced to interact as much as possible with their peers and leaders, because interaction and collaboration is essential to students' success in English (Brasoveanu, 2012). 

Prensky (2001) expressed “Our students have changed radically. Today’s students are no longer the people our educational system was designed to teach”.  Digital technology has shaped the way our students learn and the way they are taught.  Today students (Digital Natives) learn more easily with the aid of digital technology. Classroom instruction should stimulate and motivate a student's reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills. Creating a  broadcast using audio visual equipment does just that!

Back Up Plan

If we reach our goal, that would be most spectacular! However, our back up plan if we are unsuccessful in reaching our goal will be to purchase as much of the materials as possible with the funds raised (starting with the camera).

RTA Faith Flix Takin it to the Streets

Although we were unable to raise the goal we aimed for, we were able to use your invested funds to get a camera that helped the students make their first published video for their AV club, Faith Flix.  Please see the work that they put into this first project and share their video.  Subscribe to their YouTube channel for more coming projects. Their next will be a short animation Bible story.
