Welcome to the Interactive Community News Wiki!

Want to learn more about the Interactive Community News Grant and Project? This is a great place to start! This is the wiki we used last year as the central organization point for the project. Feel free to check out the Article Index page to see the kinds of articles students wrote. Read the Final Newspapers developed by the participating schools. We are changing a few elements of the project for the coming year, but the core stays the same- students will use Web 2.0 tools to connect and communicate with other throughout the county while developing newspapers. And participating teachers can receive $500!
