Of the Student, By the Student, For the Student Service Learning Project
Implementation of a project for middle school students to research, script, and produce vodcasts that interpret 13 Civil War National Parks for visitors.
"Of the Student, By the Student, For the Student" service learning project connects middle school students to the American Civil War as they use primary source documents, humanities scholarship, music, dance, dramatic readings, role-playing and digital technology to create vodcasts or mini-movies for the 13 National Parks in the Journey Through Hallowed Ground National Heritage Area. These student-generated vodcasts will become part of the official interpretive materials at each of the 13 National Parks and will be available to educators, students and visitors worldwide through the internet and traveling exhibits.
