Making videos and films is becoming a very good way for students to express themselves and demonstrate their learning. Filmmaking helps students take a large project and break it down into small steps, a useful skill in all aspects of education.
Filmmaking requires students to think from different angles, consider other possibilities, and assess their own work to determine what could have been done better. Filmmaking is also a good way to draw on past knowledge as they create scenes, props, and storyline. The items I'm requesting will help our students put these skills into practice more so than ordinary cell phones.
