I am inspired. I teach 4th/5th grade refugee students from Africa along with some local students in Denver Public Schools. I'm curious as to how the students deal with the linguistic diversity in their process. Many of my students are just beginning to speak English. I would love to buy the DVD to motivate my students.

Thanks

I have done this with special ed high school students (SDC). Lots of coaching needed. They were very enthusiastic. We did it with our career unit and they presented their work. My students vary from MR to SLD with some PDD and autism thrown in. They truly are of the digital generation and desire to be taught all this stuff they see their peers doing! I am doing an action research on this topic next fall.

This is a great piece of work. It seems that not only was the school district bought into this, but also the community. It is good to see that the community still looks at the school as a part of it, not as a separate entity.
