Pat Wagner on 25 May 09

S 339 proposes a new model of education - one that integrates technology and social responsibility into classroom instruction. We will be opening our school to an in-person and online audience on June 9th, 2009 in an event we're calling Dot-to-Dot: A Global Learning Reception. We're expecting an in-person attendance of 500 and an online attendance in the thousands. Students and teachers will be presenting their projects from 1pm-5pm EST; these include a documentary on special education, a documentary about student awareness of genocide that highlights one class's work with Darfur is Dying, a student-written bilingual play about the immigration experience, and public service announcements on social issues, among others. You can participate in person or online. In-person attendees will be able to see these presentations live, and online attendees will be able to see streaming presentations and leave comments for teachers and students. Dot-to-Dot represents the work of 67 teachers, 840 students, and an entire school committed to imagining the future of education.

Virtual field trips (VFTs) are alternatives to more costly real-world field trips. In addition to being inexpensive, they are engaging to students becasue they enable students to make connections between themselves and the wide-ranging environments they can explore virtually. They also offer authentic, inquiry-based learning experiences to students.
