Thousands of web sites for educators and students. Support for long-term classroom planning and professional development. In addition to the outdoor classroom, Goodwin also has a multimedia classroom that was built with the 1994 Christa McAuliffe grant. We have videodisc equipment, CD-ROM computers, and a lot of other multimedia equipment, such as slide projectors, video, camcorders. In her semester-long course, students are required to develop a multimedia presentation using computer software and video that they edit themselves.
Projects are varied.
One student worked on a set of 24 original poems she had written. Click here to see samples of her poetry. Another student developed a presentation on what it's like to be deaf. The success that this student had was particularly rewarding to Goodwin. A lot of times students think they know everything about computers because they have one at home.
