| Description: | In a small rural farming community of Northern New York the use of technology has empowered teams of students to voice their opinions on local, national, and international topics of personal interest. As a result of enrolling in a new course entitled "I am a citizen of the world"(a course of study in media literacy); this story illustrates the profound results that come from encouraging students to have a voice by giving them the tools of technology and choice. |
