Participate and share: Poster 
Our goal with the presentation is to help others make connections in their building and community to create learning experiences the students will remember for a long time. We will provide a lesson with resources and examples of technology tools, scaffolds and a model for others to do this work as well. We used Adobe Express and Google Docs for students to conduct research, write, and rewrite to fit specifications. Students published through a video format with music, recording and an image to support their research. We show the student process, examples of student work throughout and final products. We will also demonstrate how we used John Spencer's launch cycle and lesson plan templates to plan and how to contact community members. Attendees should leave with actionable steps to start this work on their own. We know we are successful when our students ask to do this work when not doing PBLs. One hundred percent of our students complete all aspects of the work and even take homework home when not asked to do their best work. Students are still talking about the PBL today, when we started in November. Evaluations from students request this type of work for more assignments, all students can name what they did well and what they will improve for next time.
Content and Activities:
We will present student work throughout the process and student final published Colorado Postcards from both the website and Colorado Public Radio website. We will share our lesson plan, templates and scaffolds our teachers employed to help support all of our learners. We will also share student reflections on why this matters to students.
Time and Process:
