This I Believe Goes Global: 2011 Edition
Anne Smith has a post up on her blog about this year's "This I Believe" project. Read her post for all the details, but here are the highlights:
- Once again Anne Smith and Maura Moritz will be having their students write their "This I Believe" essays, then record themselves reading them, and post both the essay and the podcast to the wiki.
- They are looking for classes who'd like to participate to team up with their classes. Those students would also write and record their own "This I Believe" essays, then the students would read, listen and provide constructive feedback to each other's essays. (Adults can participate, too.)
- In addition, we're happy to facilitate additional classes if there's enough interest - we'll try to match up classes based on class size, grade level, and approximate completion date.

Great work. I am teaching middle school math in New York City and might be interested in working on the project. I am wondering - how do they post the sound clips on the wiki?
Salk Math Journal - Wikispaces allows you to upload an mp3 and it just embeds it. Or you can host the audio somewhere else and then embed the html code if you prefer.
I love this assignment. I am and EDM 310 student and I like that students are being encouraged to globally express their true opinions and feelings. I feel like that is not encouraged in schools enough, and it is great to here that some educators still want to listen to the opinions of their students.
