<p>Trust, privacy, and safety are critical to learning in an open online world. How can learners exercise control over who sees and uses their data? What tools do they need to navigate, collaborate, and learn online with confidence? What solutions will foster greater civility and respect in online learning environments? How can open technical standards create more opportunities to share and collaborate online in a spirit of trust?</p>
<p>The fifth open, international HASTAC/MacArthur Foundation Digital Media and Learning Competition, the Trust Challenge, will award $1.2 million to institutions and organizations that tackle these questions in real-life learning contexts. The Trust Challenge will fund successful collaborations or “laboratories” that create scalable, innovative, and transformative exemplars of connected learning that bridge technological solutions with complex social considerations of trust.</p>
<p><b>Awards: $10,000 to $150,000 year-long development grants</b>; $1.2 million will be awarded in total.</p>
<p><b>Timeline: Applications accepted September 3 to November 3, 2014</b>. Final applications are due Monday, November 3, 2014 at 5pm PST/ 8pm EST.</p>
<p><b>Who can participate:</b></p>
<p>Successful proposals will include youth-serving organizations and institutions and institutions of higher learning anywhere in the world where challenges to trust in connected learning environments can be identified and addressed.</p>
<p><i>Teams must include</i></p>
<ul class="MailOutline">
<li>institutional/organizational stakeholders and administrators that can provide and direct project objectives, inform design and implementation, and increase opportunities for scalability.</li>
</ul>
<div><i> </i></div>

<p>Hi, </p>
<p>I am hoping to get some direction on a good site to use to take students work and create a digital book that I would be able to put on my website and share with parents. </p>
<p>I am currently making an alliteration book with my 3rd graders. Each student gets one page to write and illustrate their allititeration. I now want to take this to the digital level but not sure where to go to convert this.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Any suggestions would be appreciated. </p>
<p></p>
<p>thanks</p>

<p></p>
<p>Literacy is one of the most important skills students can learn in school and affects their ability to understand and communicate nearly any topic they will come across. Digital literacy is becoming increasingly important as more information is being delivered through digital means and often includes audio and video in addition to text. As student-created projects are on the rise, with the popularity of project based learning and student-centered classrooms, it is more important than ever for students to be able to communicate ideas clearly using narrative and multimedia.</p>
<p>I developed a lesson plan for using a really simple animation program called Scratch to teach students about creating story structure, plot, and characters. Students work in groups to create their own interactive animations with a branching storyline that provides viewers with at least 3 different branching points during the story, and at least 2 different options at each branching point.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Specifc learning objectives:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>When given an assignment to write a story, students will write plot developments that make sensegiven the characters in the story</li>
<li>Students will create realistic characters that appeal to readers because readers can relate to thechoices made by the characters</li>
<li>Students will write a narrative structure that is logical and leads appropriately to the ending of the story</li>

<p>My chapter is about my journey with students to launch a wikispace called Authentic Voices (<a href="http://authentic-voices.wikispaces.com/">http://authentic-voices.wikispaces.com/</a>) where students published their original pieces and recorded themselves reading their poems and short essays. This project has been a wonderful exploration of helping students find a voice, watching students spontaneously revise for a global audience, and connect (a little bit) with other teens.</p>

<p>I'd love feedback about this project! Ideas to improves. Ideas to connect with other classrooms. Or to just hear from folks trying similar things. Honored to be part of this group!</p>
