Video from PBS - "In 1998, when Massachusetts first implemented new standardized testing that was required for graduation, administrators at Brockton High School learned that more than 75 percent of their 4,000 students would fail to graduate. But over the last decade a small group of dedicated teachers have changed the way every class is taught. They began a schoolwide literacy program to reinforce literacy skills in every class, including math, science and even gym.

"Our mission in Studio 113 is to utilize students' individual gifts and talents in conjunction with the AP Language, American Literature, and World Literature curriculums. Through a diversity of teaching structures and variety of authentic assessments, students are encouraged to explore their own creativity and imaginations while demonstrating mastery of the Georgia Performance Standards.  Project assignments include movies, original music and music videos, Whose Line Is It Anyway? skits, soundtracks, commercials, pamphlets, catalogs, short stories, poetry anthologies and much more.  We also accept students' appropriate project proposals, as long as the standards are thoroughly addressed.  Instead of a traditional, sedentary classroom structure, students in Studio 113 are guided towards self-awareness and recognition of worldly realities under the umbrella of learning structures that utilize and tap into multiple intelligences.  Ultimately, we as educators seek to foster an environment that promotes freedom of thoughts and expression"

"Creative Book Builder is a fantastic app that allows students to create books in epub format, which can then be exported to iBooks and shared with others. There are a variety of instructional uses for this app, from using it as a publishing tool for project-based learning to a summative assessment at the end of a unit.  Students can embed images, audio files, video files, and write text.  The advantage of an epub document over a PDF document is that all of the media will be preserved and available for readers to interact with when the final product is published.   Depending on how you use Creative Book Builder with students, this app can help students complete tasks that align with every level of the revised Bloom's Taxonomy.  Explore the different ways this app can be used at each level of Bloom's Taxonomy."
