SBHS student, Paul Sittig, was the driving force in the preparation of web graphics. We were coached on the video editing by Bev King and Santa Barbara High School students at their after school Community Web Page Workshop. We harnessed our collective talents and energies, hitched up with the past, and made some exciting and unexpected connections with our local community. This section explains the project elements found in the CyberFair Project Assignment . The project tied in with both the eighth grade history curriculum and our community service program.
Crane promotes the idea of service learning.
By working with the museum, students were able to both learn important facts about their local history and provide a service for the museum. How did this project fit into your required school, district, or state curriculum guidelines. U. S. history is part of the eighth grade curriculum. The project was a natural vehicle for this study and tied in nicely to the curriculum. On the purely technical side, students learned to use video cameras, scanners, a still video camera, and operate new software including Adobe PhotoDeluxe, Adobe PhotoShop, and Claris Home Page.
