Overview
This proposed grant would support a short period of technical planning and then prototyping for a Digital Museum of Student Work in partnership with Harvard University's Graduate School of Education. The museum will be an online, open source environment, housing a growing collection of exemplary student work. The collection will demonstrate what students can do, what teachers can nurture, and what deeper learning can look like in very concrete terms. It will include a wide variety of tools and resources to help teachers bring deeper learning into their own classrooms. If this planning period is successful, and if other funding partners are identified, we expect to propose a larger grant later this year to help launch the Digital Museum.
