Big Screen for Big Learning - Kevin Knight & Zachary Sanchez Image
The Band Department would like to purchase a Smart TV for our facilities. We have dreamed of this for years, seeing it at other districts and exploring the vast benefits of this equipment. This one-time grant would be a 10 year investment that would serve our students musically, academically, SEL, student engagement, and also visually with the marching aspect. This would be used to watch educational videos, observe marching drill, used daily for supplemental education, large screen Zoom for guest conductors and convictions, and beyond. It is more reliable, quicker, more features, and far better quality than a classroom wall projector. There is also the use of the "pen" to mark on the smart TV, showing items, taking notes. The possibilities are extremely exciting! 

Our band program has students 9-12 from a wide range and diverse set of backgrounds, beliefs, socio-economic situations, and learning abilities. These kids love their school, district, and Crosby community, serving year round at district and community events, volunteering, pep bands, and beyond. They would be very grateful for this grant support. Our current budget and fundraising is geared toward replacing and repairing instruments, uniforms, competition, meals, instruction, supplies, travel, and helping students be in band who financially would not be able to otherwise. The added technology in this grant just is not in our means of affordability at the time. Thank you for the consideration. 

Smart TVs in the classroom enhance learning by providing interactive, visually engaging content that supports various learning styles. They offer access to online educational resources, making lessons more dynamic and up-to-date. In music and band classes, Smart TVs are especially valuable for demonstrating techniques, analyzing performances, streaming, educational videos, Zoom meetings, daily music with visual, and playing backing tracks. They also promote collaboration, real-time feedback, and seamless integration with other devices, allowing teachers to create flexible, multimedia-rich lessons that keep students engaged and actively involved in their learning.
