This past summer, I helped implement a program at one of our middle schools that I had designed to develop potential in students from underrepresented populations in advanced academics. The curriculum for the program centered around students being hired as consultants for the DC Board of Tourism to act as consultants to develop a virtual tour of DC. I worked with Destination DC, the official tourist organization for the city, to partner with the schools. The students' final podcasts were linked to their sites so their products were very authentic. To learn more about the project, you can view the video that aired when the program was presented to the school board on September 24, 2009 and is currently being run on Channel 21, FCPS's cable station.
