Rockwood Valley Middle teacher Caroline Podgornik said she was impressed with her students' work.

"These young ladies did an excellent job sharing their ideas and listening to each other. The result was the creation of a dynamic video with a real world message," said Podgornik.

On Feb. 12, this video, along with the other category winners, will be showcased at the annual Midwest Education Technology Conference, according to district materials.

The students and Podgornik also will be honored by Rockwood at the Feb. 21 Board of Education Awards Ceremony.
