[YL] Resources for project based learning with technology

[fmindlin at santacruz.k12.ca.us]

We just completed a very successful Young Writer's Camp 
through the Central California Writing Project, hosted by 
the Steinbeck Branch of the Salinas Public Library in 
Salinas, CA. The project was to create VoiceThreads around 
student-generated topics, with the option to write about 
our filed trip on the second day to Museo Eduardo 
Carrillo, a mini-museum within the Steinbeck Center, where 
curator Betsy Andersen led 13 middle school students in 
creating watercolor self-portraits.

The project results are viewable at

and a partial curriculum is available at

We compiled the various VoiceThreads into a single iMovie 
and then exported that to a DVD which each student got to 
take home. Their VoiceThread accounts are still active, 
and a couple of the students have continued using the 
resource on their own.

Enjoy, Fred
