Hall+of+Fame

My goal on this page is to highlight some of the really cool things that USM teachers and students are doing with participatory media software. Within the context of using these tools, our teachers and students are starting to have rich conversation about what it means to communicate effectively and responsibly in the 21st century. Our teachers and students started their work with wikis, blogs, podcasts, etc on a larger scale during the 2006-2007 school year. Work with these tools continues to grow and develop. Click the links to see what some of our students and teachers are up to!
