Life Round Here

A great and simple way to utilize blogs and podcasts can be a digital storytelling project. Perhaps you already have a project where students write stories and present them to the class? Wouldn't it be fun to use that same project, but this year have your students present it to the world?

Earlier this school year Chris Craft, a 6th grade teacher in South Carolina, started a project called "Life Round Here." As part of this project students from all over the world created digital stories sharing what it is like to live in their community. These students just completed the first round of projects and all of them are hosted on a wiki for you to view. Take a moment and check them out. While you're there post a comment or two and let them know what you think.
