I'm not sure if this project or Web site has already been posted to the
Youthlearn listserve, but there seems to be a lot of valuable information in
the site, including curriculum ideas, evaluation, and sample projects.

>From the Web site: The Challenge 2000 Multimedia Project is an innovative
program that harnesses the power of multimedia to engage students in
challenging learning activities. Students complete projects that draw on
real-world information and research methods-and design them as sophisticated
multimedia presentations.  Students learn course work and technology skills
in a way that also fosters valuable workplace competencies such as teamwork,
communication, planning and problem solving. Students display their work at
Project-sponsored multimedia fairs.
