Description
The Shallop Project: A Summer Learning Adventure
From Suzie Boss's blog posted on Edutopia.org
"This summer, visitors to the Bath waterfront have had a chance to watch the community's newest generation of shipbuilders hone their craft. Fourteen students from Morse High School are building a replica of a 16th-century wooden boat known as a shallop. They've cut the keel, milled the white-oak planking to the proper thickness, and are sanding the spruce oars to just the right shape. And that's not all. While mastering new skills, students are also putting their technology prowess to work to tell the story behind Shallop Project.
It's a story worth celebrating. The project shows how to leverage summer learning opportunities, how to use technology for an important purpose, and also how to forge connections between school and community."
