Upon viewing this footage, I got the inside track on what these students at Mabry Middle School are actually accomplishing only a daily basis. It is simply AMAZING, watching what these 7th and 8th graders are able to do with the simple usage of the Mac computers they have at their school.
They have taken the simplicity of using the student voice and have exposed it to masses just by using the internet. I have heard about this school in GA, prior to taking this class, but I did not know that they were this famous for their production material. I mean, having an awards show with massive publicity is HUGE as a middle school student. I would have been nothing but the least bit overwhelmed, which is why I greatly commend and applause these students efforts.
The students touched on a variety of different subjects which included the negative effects of fast food and media, racism among the U.S. and world, and globalizing technology among all classrooms. Tim Tyson has signified had crucial technology usage is in the classroom so that students can let their creative imagination run wild with their ideas. This school has been recognized nation wide for their achievements, so hopefully more GA. schools will follow suit in encompasses more technological advances in the classrooms. This is why I am glad that I am taking this course, so I will not fall behind when this incredible trend goes running rapid.
