Life Round Here 2010

This year I participated in a global project created by Chris Craft entitled "Life Round Here". The purpose of this digital storytelling project is for kids around the world to tell each other what life is like in their town and in their school. According to Chris, this global collaboration was created because it was "a desire of mine to help students understand the differences and similarities between their own cultures and the cultures that are foreign to them." The only requirements are that the students should be between the ages of 8 and 15, the videos must be in English, and must be published to SchoolTube. The submissions this year are astounding and I invite you to watch them at the Life Round Here 2010 Completed Projects Page. The submission from Roosevelt Intermediate School can be seen below:
