Innovation in Action
Posted by Elizabeth Hancock on 5/7/2019Innovation in Action
During the 2018-2019 school year the Tuscaloosa City Schools funded a pilot of creative applications that participating students use to create and edit videos and sound files. These web-based accounts are accessible on most internet connected devices, especially the Chromebooks provided in schools and as part of our one-to-one initiative. This makes powerful creative tools readily available to all students.
Participants ranged from grades 4-12 across all three school zones at 6 schools. On May 7, 2019, some participating students and teachers took time out of their busy schedules to share their amazing creations with school board members and district leaders. The products included book trailers, a podcast about dreams for the future, science experiment reports, showcases of local history for the recent bicentennial celebration, and senior anatomy presentations. All projects were standards-based and of high interest to the students who created them. Most were integrated into core instruction, collaborative, and had interdisciplinary components. Considering the projects on display and the waiting list for seats, we consider the pilot to be a huge success and hope to expand it in the coming school year.
