I wanted to make sure that you and others are aware of our new curriculum -- Access, Analyze, Act: A Blueprint for 21st Century Civic Engagement (http://www.pbs.org/teachers/vote2008/blueprint) -- which is designed to encourage teachers to use Web 2.0 tools to teach 21st century skills and promote political awareness and engagement. The curriculum was designed in partnership with Temple University's Media Education Lab and includes activities and lesson plans as well as an interactive Political Personality quiz for students (available as a widget) and professional development videos for teachers hosted by Joyce Valenza. In addition, the Democracy project is about to update the site with a fun new interactive Sticker Race complemented by new learning activities. I hope you and your readers will check out these exciting new resources! Best, Jenny Bradbury - Jenny Bradbury Thu, 16 Oct 2008 04:27:18 +0100
