Local to Global: Ashland's Qwest Grant
With easy access to iPods and digital microphones, students will be able to capture, edit and publish oral histories. Using a multimedia workstation they will be able to present information about content, such as the Oregon Trail, through creatively written and produced video podcasts. Students developing book reports or biographies will express themselves through varied media.
Through iEarn projects students will experience authentic investigations and expand their audience for projects. iEARN is an organization dedicated to creating world wide opportunities for students. It is a global network that enables teachers and students to use the Internet and other new technologies to collaborate on projects that both enhance learning and make a difference in the world. http://www.iearn.org/
Through blogs and video conferencing, students will share writing and collaborate on projects with their classmates, students in other Ashland schools and peers around the globe. The ability to publish instantly and engage in interactive, two-way communication builds a powerful learning community.
