 * Laura - Saddle River Day
 * Students created a Marie Claire teen magazine advertising wearable tech
 * Then worked with Fresh Cosmetics - made original scents
 * Psychology students looked at how scents affect the brain
 * Packaged them, made ads, and presented to Fresh
 * Year long project working closely with Fresh
 * Convinced teacher to give three “Fresh Fridays” where students’ schedule was completely free for the day to work on this project.
 * Also worked on it in graphic art classes and some math classes
 * Got ideas from Fresh about how they do the process in real world to guide the process
 * Miri @ Ramaz School
 * Technology in history course - look at history in a visual way (film, photos)
 * Familiarization with photo archives
 * NYT Photo Archive, Library of Congress, Life and Time Magazines
 * Students create collections based on interesting topics for them
 * Culminating project in 8th grade on Holocaust photo archive
 * People in communities before WWII
 * Compare these photos with current photos from their own collections
 * Students create a movie comparing these two time periods
 * Teacher buy in - “I don’t have time for this”
 * After they saw the success of the first project - they started buying in
 * You as a student have a purpose right now and a POV that is important to someone
 * Having an audience outside of your classroom is a large part of getting them on board
 * Rubric-based grading and teacher training on this topic is important
 * Check wiki for rubric template and lesson planning document shared by Christine
 * Used hexadecimal coding (code.org) to create a “selfie” that matched an image - compared to the byzantine empire
 * Make these projects more student-centered and meaningful - give an authentic audience
 * Ron Berger - video called “Ron’s Butterfly” (?) to review successful peer evaluation
 * Create a curriculum map for each teacher/grade level about what they are doing and how you can fit in - check wiki for example
 * Also need to do your own PR - advertise your projects and what teachers have done
 * Adobe Spark Video and Adobe Spark Page - great for video creation with young students
