Making a Difference, Changing the World!  Carol
Anne McGuireTechnology Integration Specialist at New Village Leadership Academy (Founded by Will and Jada Pinket-Smith) in Calabasas, California. Carol Anne began teaching in 1989 teaching blind and visually impaired students. Her students inspired the world with how they overcame their disabilities and how to overcome theirs! These amazing students became award-winning national and international filmmakers (writing scripts in Braille, filming and editing their original films) and have advised the Departments of Education in Japan, Israel and Russia on education for special education. Carol Anne created and organized one of the world’s most dynamic international projects, Rock Our World. Through ROW, students collaborate with others around the world to compose music, make movies, learn about core curriculum, and meet each other in face-to-face video conferences. The project culminates in a 1-hour TV and Worldwide Web-Broadcast involving thousands of kids on each continent. Sponsored by Apple Corporation
