We have been using History Day as a model, but I'd be interested in possibly incorporating your ideas into what we are already doing. Looking forward to it!

However, we did run into problems regarding copyright for the materials that students assembled as well as with permissions to make student work public. I would like to learn more about the assignments and logistics. I will be using Omeka again for student assignments during Spring Quarter. I found Omeka to be a terrific learning tool as well.

Did you have some students who were willing/able to help out their peers? With my students, I've stuck with smaller-scale (individual/small group) projects - websites, podcasts, new wikipedia entries - but I really like the idea of a large scale, full-class project.

The Digital Archive of Literacy Narratives (DALN - http://daln.osu.edu), which I co-direct with my colleague Cynthia Selfe, is about to issue a call for guest curators to create digital exhibits based on subsets of the 900+ literacy narratives currently in the archive. I look forward to learning more about your project! Delighted to hear about this project!

(see: http://csudigitalhumanities.org/exhibits). I like the fact that your students are not just collecting and exhibiting existing artifacts but also engaging in original content creation such as the multimedia slideshows. Looking forward to hearing more about your approach and experience. Hi Katie,
