Picture Indians

PJM at Old Picture of the Day dropped out of the rat race and became a high school teacher.

I can remember my first day of class, I had one class made up of a particularly tough group of students. These students did not have a history of academic success, and struggled in a number of areas, and with a number of issues. On the first day, I threw out the text book, and told the students I was going to teach them to do something useful, and that they would accomplish something that they could be proud of, and that they would be recognized for.

What they did was create a website called Picture Indians. The students learned about web design and coding, copyright laws, and photo restoration. Take a look and send an email to the students to let them know what you think of their project. (Thanks, Alannah!)
