I have my Current Events students 'solve' world issues throughout the semester with foresight, research, and a ton of creativity. The Nikon digital camera bundle would allow for students to create video Public Service Announcements about their issue with high-quality resolution, as well as the ability to edit pictures together more easily for collage displays. The Canon Pixma printer would let them print their pictures and propaganda posters in color, something that our school's current resources can't allow for.
Students have a unique perspective of the world, and these tools would allow them to showcase those perceptions, and their ideas for improvement, in more vibrant ways. The goal of our Social Studies department is to create active, informed citizens for our society, and these tools can be used for all of our classes in myriad ways, not just the one example I wrote of above.
