Needs:
I would like to have a couple flip cameras for my classes to video ; teaching methods, students operating machines and project construction steps so they can view their machine procedures. I would also like to have a ceiling - mounted projector in my classroom hooked up to my computer to show my teaching CD's in my lectures. It would also be an asset to have a smart Board to greatly enhance my teaching .If these three items were donated to my program it would be a huge blessing to me, my students, and my program overall. Thank you.

I believe every student needs to learn how to believe in him/herself, develop positive thinking, and accept the power of positive thinking. I believe in helping students to have a a good attitude about learning and life in general.I teach students to "do all things in the spirit of excellance".
