Description
Participants have the opportunity to gain the necessary expertise to turn classroom research into a digital archive using the model established through the Civic Voices website but focusing on issues that are specific to that school community. The relevant example is the NASA Explorer School in Alabama that developed its own archive memories of the space program for all age groups that will continue as a yearly project for 7th graders and serve as a digital data base for researchers both within and beyond the community through Internet access.
