I am a on the board of directors of Springboard Innovation, which operates OUTSIDE the k-12 sphere. Interesting mission, important aims - Springboard focuses on informal youth education and community development through education. Please visit: www.learninginnovation.org
What occupies me lately? I just wrote a book with coauthor Suzie Boss titled "Reinventing Project-Based Learning: Your Field Guide to Real-World Projects in the Digital Age"
We are excited about the promise of pbl and professional learning in the web 2.0 era, where important learning functions (collaboration, learning anywhere, many more) are made possible through a myriad of new and emerging tools.
The book profiles teachers and classrooms from around the globe- each point we make is illustrated with a story of teachers and learners who are walking the walk and accomplishing great things.

Reinventing... all over the Web
Suzie Boss and I wrote a book but I won't be shilling here! What we've found in the process of writing is that we're part of a larger conversation around the learning functions of digital tools. We're especially interested in project-based learning. Please consider joining the community of interest forming around "reinventing" the learning experience in these different environments:

Just a quick follow-up, in case you are interested:Adina's Deck won an award at the Eugene International Film Festival for Best Short Film in the Young Audience catagory! Thank you Eugene!
Also, we are showing Episode One, and it will be the World Premiere of Episodes Two and Three, this Saturday in Modesto. We expect 400 to 500 to attend. You can see teasers for the two new films at the Adina's Deck myspace site:
http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=193616683
FYI, Adina's Deck will be shown at the Regal Cinemas at 2 PM Sunday October 5th, in theater 12. I noticed from the festival schedule that they will also be showing the "Making of Adina's Deck" documentary, which goes into the school-site research prior to production. See http://www.eugenefilmfest.org/ for more information and details of the Eugene Film Festival. I wish I could be there.
I would love to hear more about your university course on project-based learning with technology. Are you speaking anywhere soon? Thanks! dobrien@viedu.org
Thank you for your reply. The Eugene International Film Festival presents about 70 films throughout the three-day event. They sell an all-festival pass, but they also sell individual tickets for $8. I'm not sure when Adina's Deck will be shown, but you may be able to contact someone from their website: http://www.eugenefilmfest.org/ The schedule has not been posted.
The film's creators, Debbie Heimowitz and Jason azicri, plan to attend. I have attended several film festivals and found them all to ve very interesting and usually a lot of fun. I wish I could be in Eugene but I have another commitment in Chicago during that time. Thank you for your offer to place posters, but there just aren't any for that event.
Thanks again,
Tony V.
I noticed you are in Eugene, and I was wondering if you planned to attend the Eugene International Film Festival Oct 3-5. If you do go, you may be interested in the film series, Adina's Deck ( www.adinasdeck.com ) which is perfect for the increasingly more tech-savvy middle school students. The films are short, entertaining and extremely "watchable" and are educational for kids, teachers and parents. Episode 1, the cyber bully pilot episode, won best student film at the International Family Film Festival. Episode 2 is the Case of the Online Crush, and touches on the dangers of online predators. Episode 3 in the Case of the Plagiarized Paper the deals with the consequences of cheating. The writers, directors, and lead cast members participate in live discussions when they have attended dozens school assemblies and film festivals. They are booked to appear at many more locations this school year. Like in Episode 1, the story-lines of Episodes 2 and 3 create a lot of "who-done-it" suspense, with plot twists that are sure to promote a lot of discussion on these real, timely topics.
The students really get into the discussion topics, and want to know what the characters will do next. Adina's Deck is a valuable and socially important tool.
Haven't checked this for a while...sorry! I am located in Bellingham with a view of the San Juans! Don't know anyone out there. Have you touched base with Susan Brooks-Young? She lives on the islands and is really connected with classrooms. She might have a lead. Good luck!
I bought your book, Amazon says it’s on the way. I can’t wait. Thank you for allowing me to participate in your group today. I learned things about Terry that I didn’t know before. Our classes held several video conferences, we blogged regularly, we participated in the Landmark Games and we will join the Monster Project this September. It is amazing, when you realize that we only began January 2. We also participated in Voices of the World. We are the only school in Bridgeport (the largest city in Connecticut) that blogs or does any of these projects. For awhile I was the only class. I now have one other teacher who has joined in.
I get out to Oregon at least once or twice a year. My daughter is already making plans for us to beat our times in next years Butte to Butte. I will definitely look you up when I get out there.
I’d like to pick your brain after I read your book. I hope you don’t mind.
Regards,
Bob Greenberg
