Martin Luther King Jr. Shaped by Conn. Town

CBS Assignment America did a nice piece on a student project about Martin Luther King. A teacher at Simsbury High School in Connecticut worked with students to investigate a mystery about whether Martin Luther King had worked in the Connecticut tobacco fields as a young man. What I like about this project is that the students were in charge. The research was real and relevant. Their findings were presented in a video. You can read about the project at CBS. My only complaint is that when I tried to get to the teacher's webpage, it was password protected. I couldn't look at any of this other material. Thanks CBS for sharing this great project!

Welcome to Yarmouth High School: 8 Years of Successful 1:1 Learning

We are an Apple Distinguished High School and often have visitors. Wes Fryer came to visit back in early December and tagged along on a tour with a group was from Sweden. They have just started their 1:1 project and came to see some of our classes. All of our tours are led by students. Wes filmed them speaking as well as a couple of classes. I am so grateful to Wes for recording these videos. I rarely get to really listen because I am distracted by all the other things going on when we have guests. Here are all the videos of the visit. I am so proud of our students and how they exemplify the process of learning. Thanks Wes!
