About SPI

The Student Press Initiative is designed to develop, foster, and promote writing across the curriculum through student publication.

SPI is built upon the premise that writing for publication provides young people with authentic audiences. When students realize the power and potential of an audience of their peers and the community at large, writing becomes purposeful thereby inspiring them to produce their best work. We believe that when a young writer finds an audience, she will find her voice.

For each photo, please:

* Include a caption that briefly describes the project.

* Add a tag “reinventingpbl” to your photo

* Add a geotag so we can see where the project takes place

* Do not include identifying information for any children (first name and grade OK)

We will be excited to see pictures that illustrate how rich projects transform the learning experience – We encourage pictures that show kids learning together in interesting places using powerful tools and creating unique work.

About Reinventing Project-Based Learning:
This group illustrates what project-based learning can look like, especially when digital tools help students break free from the confines ofteacher-driven and classroom-bound instruction.

Group administrator Jane Krauss and colleague Suzie Boss have just coauthored a book “Reinventing Project-Based Learning: Your Field Guide to Real-World Projects in the Digital Age”. In writing the book we visited with teachers from around the world who are transforming the learning experience through meaningful and rigorous projects. We hope
you will submit photos that capture the spirit of project-based learning. Please read the group rules for details.
