"Honoring Student Voices is a blended learning approach that will leverage the use of digital media and its capacity for providing opportunities for multiple modalities of learning and self-expression to enable student voice across all areas of the curriculum. HSV will focus on the integration of the arts and literacy across core subject learning to support culturally linguistic relevance in a project-based learning environment. "

Through the Learning Technology Grant initiative our students have been engaged in exploring photography. The students have engaged in capturing images with digital cameras, then the process of editing using digital tools. The students have been introduced to the important roles composition and lighting play in image capturing, creation and planning.

Creative Artist
The students were exploring creating expository essays. They were asked to research a favorite piece of artwork using digital tools to research the artist and other pieces they created. The students then crafted expository essays using computer apps that helped them combine images and text to express their learning.
