Students in these classes have a variety of assignments. Some promote the school on the Ligon web site, others require research to create electronic portfolios , and other projects are published in Midlink Magazine . There are no walls in these classes. Students use the Internet and traditional media to explore the world. They write articles and create original artwork or use graphics from the Internet, pictures they take with digital cameras and scanned graphics to illustrate their work.
Students communicate with adults frequently as they do their projects.
For example, they consult experts on content or a web publishing technique. They always write the webmaster of the page and ask permission to link to another web page or use a graphic. Students are changing their view of school assignments. They no longer do tasks just to get a grade, instead they seek information and eagerly communicate their ideas because they know people value their opinions. You have done an excellent job.
