Mindtriggerz Project / Rebecca Woloch Table C-69 Jesse Higginbotham was a long-time active member of STLP at Cardinal Valley Elementary, Leestown Middle, and Paul Laurence Dunbar High School and he was a widely respected participant in the global community. Jesse firmly believed that technology should be available to everyone regardless of financial means and support. He believed that technology brought the world home, and that the benefits are educational, social and personal. In April of 2007 Jesse lost his life in an automobile accident on his way to school. In memory of Jesse, Mindtriggerz was formed as a project to place computers in the homes of elementary age youth
Guests who could not otherwise afford them. The goal is not only to give used technology a second life, but to provide the necessary training, follow-up, tech support and upgrades to youngsters who may have an as yet undiscovered talent such as Jesse‘s. Students from around Fayette County assist in every aspect of the Mindtriggerz Project: from refurbishing donated computers to training youth and their families. Jesse would be honored to know that his legacy is to shape the lives of many young people, helping them become as much a positive contributor to the local and global community as he was. http://www.jessehigginbotham.com/mindtriggerz.html Newton’s Attic / Bill Cloyd Hallway Stop by to drive an electronic robotic rover that has a robotic arm on the front that is operable from the passenger seat.

The students will showcase robots created in the Junior and Senior Robotics STLP groups. The robotics program provides the students with learning experiences in the dynamics of teamwork. The robotics program helps students develop problem-solving abilities and learn computer programs, mathematics, and science. The value of creativity and persistence are learned as the students design and build the robots. The program actively involves the students in their own learning process and promotes creative thinking, teamwork and problem-solving skills. These skills are essential to be successful in the adult workplace. Project Rebound

At Booker T. Washington Academy, we have five groups of STLP. Groups 1, 2, and 3 are learning computer care and maintenance. Group 4 meets after school and has so many members that we had to split it into two groups. Group 4A has created a video on the importance of fruits and vegetables in their diet. Group 4B is typing a monthly school newsletter focusing on technology. Group 5 is learning how to work our SmartBoards so they can demonstrate new skills in their classroom. We also have a

Table A-12
After the earthquake in Haiti, my students were talking about how little the children in Haiti had and wondered what we could do to help. We had a lot of mouse pads so we decided to make all of them to sell for $5.00 each and donate 100% of the money to help the children to have "child safety places." This money will purchase tents, blankets, school supplies, and more. The students chose the pictures to print, printed them on transfer paper, advertised them, packaged and sold them. We sold out in two days. Our goal was $300 and to date we have $330. We will make more and have more money at a later date. We have received many compliments from staff and students and we even have students coming to purchase more! Crawford Middle School

The Video Process
Table A-2
This year our school has placed a greater emphasis on content related video production and, to help meet that goal, our STLP Students created their own instructional video from start to finish in order to not only produce video but understand the video process as a whole. Our students became familiar with script writing, Flip video cameras, and Pinnacle video editing software including chroma-key editing with the use of green screens. Our STLP members were then able to lead the way by assisting teachers and

Glendover At Work
Table C-76
Students in Glendover's STLP program have been very busy this year. They took the time to create holiday cards for the soldiers serving our country overseas. Students used a variety of programs, clip art and ideas to create unique cards to send overseas. The students hoped that these cards would brighten a soldier's day and thank them for all their hard work. The students also took some time to create informational posters about playground safety. They used digital photos to help remind students of ways to be safe on the playground. The posters were displayed by doors near the playground exits. Lastly, the students explored digital art! They experimented with digital cameras to take a variety of photos. They used some of their photos to create unique art with the Photoshop software program. Harrison Elementary

Our Exciting Adventures in 2010
Our 5th grade S.T.L.P. members have been developing companies and products to learn more about economics. They have created some innovative products. One of the products is EZ-rasors to be used with dry erase boards. Students are using their own dry erase boards for math and literacy instruction. The erasers are made out of yarn and can be used to clear their boards quickly. The students have made the products and are conducting their advertising through S.T.L.P. The students have produced scripts and created videos to air on Harrison's Morning
Showcases News program. Other examples of products are key chains and fun jewelry. The funds raised from the sale of their products will be used to buy items that will benefit the school. Our S.T.L.P. members will showcase their advertisements and products at the fair. The products can be bought at our booth. Henry Clay High School
Webcasting
Table A-7
Webcasting is the streaming of live audio and video over the internet. With the help of a Small Learning Communities grant and the Student Technology Leadership Program, and the help of ihigh.com, Henry Clay is now webcasting home sporting events. Using a laptop, mixing board, amplifier, video camera, and headset microphones, we are able to encompass several different learning experiences into each broadcast, including (but not limited to): audio production and mixing, live on-air broadcasting, videography, and sideline reporting. With all of these new capabilities students are able to gain valuable experience in the fields of broadcasting, journalism, audio/visual production. The reach of the webcasting extends beyond the classroom too. By broadcasting over the internet we are able to reach out not only to the immediate Henry Clay community, offering them live sporting event coverage, but we can also reach thousands of students, parents, relatives, alumni, and friends worldwide connecting them back with the Henry Clay family. The benefits of webcasting hopefully won‘t stop at just sporting events either. With new technology we can make all sorts of events – athletic, academic, and otherwise – available to those associated with and interested in Henry Clay all around the world.

Mary Todd is featuring four projects this year under the heading of "What MTE STLP is all about?" Two of the projects, the MTE Recipe Cookbook, and DVDs For Sale, are both entrepreneurial projects. We will convey to the district how a simple idea can turn a profit for your STL Program. Also demonstrated in the cookbook project is a strong partnership with the family Resource Center. We also have a group of students from our morning news crew that broadcasts the MT news daily. Finally, our kindergarten and first grade students are benefiting from third and fourth grade students who are released from their classes to help in the computer lab in both setting up the computers and helping to tutor the younger students. Of course, these Lab Assistants have to be caught up on their work before their teacher will release them. Maxwell Elementary
