One way is through the use of online publishing. With the advent of the internet, it is now easier than ever for students to publish information for the world to access. We realize that there are both pros and cons to online publishing. Web pages, blogs and wikis can be used to spread truth and misinformation. They can lead to positive social change and yet they can become agents of hate. Our goal is to use web authoring as a positive way to share our social voice. Some of these projets are whole-class projects, where the entire class participates. Others are small group projects (typically in groups of 3-4) and finally, some of these are individual projects.
