Examples... with step-by-step to follow

After my first full day of working with my high school students on the CommunityWalk Map, "Entry Points," I'm pretty excited about some of the possibilities -- especially since I figured out a way to link between particular map views and that student's profile on the elgg. See my post of examples, "First Entry Points." I need to get these examples broken down into step-by-step instructions.

I'm also realizing that any teacher involved in this project will probably want to be able to edit his/her students' work on the map. A couple of weeks ago I emailed Jared Cosulich, the developer of CommunityWalk, and I asked him if there is any way to give a group of users administrative access to a map. He answered that this was in the works, but that he couldn't promise when it would be ready.

Anybody who wants the administrative username and password for my CommunityWalk maps should let me know: allisonpr@gmail.com

Please let me know how it is going, and let's get together on Wednesday evening!

  1. Paul,

    Thanks for continuing to share here at educationbridges.net.  This is an exciting project.  I hope to get some of my faculty to bring students to the map, but it's going to take a couple of weeks.  Hopefully asynchronous will work.

    - Alex

  2. Different times for different teachers, of course! Have you considered encouraging teachers to have their students join Youth Voices as well?
