Mapping Main Street Project April 5th, 2010*** 8:30 AM - 3:00 PM
The Mapping Main Street workshop invites teachers to bring an integrated learning experience into their classroom. Designed to engage students in the analysis of various types of change that can be evidenced on New Hampshire’s streets, students will develop videos, artwork, photos, or audio displays about the historical, social, demographic, economic and cultural information about their community and share it via the world wide web’s Mapping Main Street site, through a Geocache, their town/school website or other vehicle. “
Ann Hepperman will be here from Brooklyn, NY to talk about the project her diverse team created on their 12,000 mile cross country journey as they began the process of documenting life on the more than 10,000 streets named “Main” in the US. Through modern technologies such as the use of digital photography and the Internet, students will learn about the changes in their own community and use technology to share that information with others. Schools are encouraged to send teams
comprised of varying grades with social studies, language arts, art teachers and computer technology teachers interested in supporting an integrated learning project
Cost: $105 (Includes lunch) *Minimum of 18 participants needed to run workshop
