A16 Youth Voices: Connecting Students Across Schools

You'll leave this workshop ready to sign your students up in a school-based social network. Youth Voices is a community of NWP teachers who have joined with WorldBridges and EdTechTalk teachers to create one website where students share wikis, blogs, a twitter-like "microblog," RSS readers, discussion boards, media galleries, book groups, podcasts, digital magazines, and more. You will learn how the teachers involved with this project collaborate on a wiki to create an ongoing, ever-changing curriculum that involves students in authentic communication and action with each other.
