Showcasing Student Projects
About the Archive-It Project
From: http://www.archive-it.org/k12/
"If you were a high school student, which websites would you want to save for future generations? This is the challenge we posed to students and their teachers. In the spring of 2008, Internet Archive, the Library of Congress and California Digital Library collaborated on a project that explores archiving the Web from the perspective of high school students. In the fall we plan to broaden the program's outreach to additional high schools and eventually middle and elementary school students. To get involved and/or learn more, please email us at archive-it@archive.org."


Student Grass Roots Campaigns

Kim Everist  - Contemporary Issues, Miramonte High School

In a Contemporary Issues class, students use Blogger to share a little piece of themselves while they make the world a better a place. Students create a grassroots campaign through a blog, focusing on an issue of choice. They educate their readers about the issue via research and writing and solicit comments from different perspectives. They also volunteer time at a local organization related to their issue, taking pictures and posting commentary on their blog.
