Troy Athens High School teacher Adam Burns teaches Filmmaking. This year his students have interviewed people from all over the world, met with Youtube sensations, touring artists, staked out a sunrise, gathered B roll for a commercial, and travel for production, all during school hours. These things would have been unimaginable in previous years, but remote learning opened the world for his students thanks to Zoom and a more flexible schedule.
Teachers like Adam across the state were asked to share their innovative teaching ideas in January for an opportunity to be selected for a$2,500 State Farm Teacher Assist Grant, and Adam was one of 40 recipients out of 200 submissions.
