Students accomplished this through the use of an interactive network computer program, IBM's Superlink, incorporating audio, video, and text.
Every student is given an opportunity to participate.
The students work closely with the classroom teachers and the technology teachers in developing perspectives, interview questions, setting up interviews, and developing the final project. These projects are also loaded on the school's IBM network so that other students may view. Students must learn to use their time wisely and to set long term goals and deadlines. Students have incorporated activities and learning tasks that they will use the rest of their lives through the constant editing, organizing, and sharing of knowledge across the classroom, around the school, with parents, and with local community members. These activities include research, interviews, publishing activities, experiments, surveys, reports, and a demonstration of their final project.
