I was recently interviewed on WLTX News 19 about our Life Round Here project.
See the interview embedded below or click through to the WLTX site to see it there.
The text story (written like a transcript) is here. Want to leave a comment?

I was included as a part of a news story on our local AM station WVOC recently due to being selected as a finalist in the Cable in the Classroom Leaders in Learning National Teacher Awards. So far there is no news on who won.
Anyway, if you’re curious, here is the audio from the news story. It’s just a snippet, but I was glad to participate.
Enjoy.

For those of you who remember Life Round Here 2007 you may be excited to know that Life Round Here 2009 is now accepting participants!
What we really want students to do is, “Tell us, what’s it really like to live where you live”.
You can use any of a wide variety of tools to create the story, from Microsoft Photostory to iMovie to Voicethread to anything else you can think of.
The requirements are fairly much the same:
- It must involve students from 10 – 13 years old.
- Your class/school/group must be able to publish six stories.
- The stories must be in English or have subtitles in English.
- Stories must be published and “watchable” by March 31, 2009.
I would also appreciate it if you would consider spreading the word. The official tag for this year’s project is liferoundhere09.
Thanks!
Chris
