Burris Laboratory School, Muncie, Indiana
Project submitted by Emily Funk and Christy Wauzzinski
In a two year project, the Technology Coordinator and the Intermediate Elementary Education Teacher collaborated to design and implement a 5th Grade student-produced multimedia classroom newspaper intended to be an online communication piece for parents and the school community. The Technology Coordinator developed weekly lessons to teach the students the basics of website design, use of video and audio technology and ethical guidelines to publishing on the web. Then after practicing skills they had learned, students began to design, produce and publish their own online multimedia newspaper entitled the "111 Eavesdroppers."
