Because the drone can autonomously track movement, students are able to film themselves in action—whether they are creating art, conducting science experiments outdoors, practicing athletic routines, or documenting their work from unique angles that would be impossible with a handheld camera. This hands‑free capability allows them to stay fully engaged in their project while still capturing high‑quality footage that they can later analyze, edit, and present.\r\nIn our community‑based photojournalism work, the drone has become an especially powerful tool. Students use it to capture aerial perspectives of local landmarks, community events, and natural spaces that shape our city's story. They've taken great pride in learning how responsible drone use can enhance storytelling—using the bird's‑eye view to show patterns, movement, and connections that aren't visible from the ground. The resulting images and videos have helped students better understand how perspective influences narrative, and they've become more thoughtful, intentional storytellers because of it.\r\nSome students who are typically hesitant to speak up or participate have completely come alive through this technology. A few have taken the lead in planning drone shots, coordinating fieldwork, and editing the footage into compelling short features. Others who struggle in more traditional academic tasks have found confidence in the technical and creative aspects of drone-based storytelling. Watching them step into leadership roles, collaborate with peers, and proudly share their cinematic work has been one of the most exciting parts of introducing this new tool.","fullyFundedDate":1768408221451,"projectUrl":"project/the-best-kind-of-droning-on/9989174/","projectTitle":"The Best Kind of Droning on...","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Oates","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8262323"},{"teacherId":5318435,"projectId":10000210,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for all that was given to my kindergarten class. I have slowly been adding the new things into our daily practice, and every time that I open something new the kids get so excited. We do iready in our classroom every day, and a few of our headphones were not working as well as they should. With the addition of new headphones each student now has great working headphones. They were so excited. This morning I added the new Legos into our STEM bins and they have already worked so hard at creating something new.\r\n\r\nSoon I will be introducing the play-doh and animals, for them to create habitats for the different animals. \r\n\r\nThe laminator will really help create memories for a long time towards the end of the year. I will be laminating some artifacts I have collected throughout the year and will present it to the families at the end of the year in a book. It will be a kindergarten keepsake for them to keep for many years to come.\r\n\r\nThank you for this opportunity to create more magic in my classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1768166152422,"projectUrl":"project/kindergarten-creates/10000210/","projectTitle":"Kindergarten Creates","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Shaffer","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5318435"},{"teacherId":4255590,"projectId":9532871,"letterContent":"This grant provided the opportunity for each student to engage in book club reading/writing and discussion more successfully. The ability to have an individual copy of the book per student allowed the students to read both at school and at home.

Whether reading of a young boy (Peak) climbing Everest, a young black girl experiencing racism as one of the Little Rock Nine (March Forward Girl) or a young girl shot by the Taliban for seeking an education (I Am Malala) my students all gained insight into the strength of the human spirit over tragedy and difficulty.

Many shared them with their parents and some even used them during parent/teacher conferences.
