<br />
We'll first be given a personal tour of "Election 2008: ACCESS, ANALYZE, ACT: A Blueprint for 21st Century Civic Engagement", the latest multimedia curriculum, which was developed in partnership with PBS Teachers and Temple University’s Media Education Lab. The project is aimed at encouraging teachers to experiment with social media/Web 2.0 tools in the classroom in order to promote both civic engagement and critical 21st century skills. Educators will be able to help develop students' understanding of the Presidential campaign process by harnessing the power of Web 2.0 for teaching media and information literacy, critical thinking, communication, collaboration and technology skills. There are more than a dozen social media tools showcased in this curriculum to engage middle-school and high school learners in the political campaign process.<br />
<br />
Following the overview of the resources available, there will be a question and answer session. You may want to preview the "Vote 2008" election resources at PBS by going to <a href="http://www.pbs.org/teachers/vote2008/">http://www.pbs.org/teachers/vote2008/</a>. You might consider taking the quick political quiz yourself! A wiki for the project is located at <a href="http://21stcenturycivicengagement.pbwiki.com/">http://21stcenturycivicengagement.pbwiki.com/</a>.<br />
<br />
To join the event on September 10th, check the instructions on the Classroom 2.0 Live Conversations page at <a href="http://wiki.classroom20.com/live+conversations/">http://wiki.classroom20.com/live+conversations/</a>. This event will also be recorded and a link to the recording will be posted soon after.

This interaction could be anything from a 'critical friends' examination of each other's ideas for teaching during the election season to planning for a collaboration that encompasses understanding of US regions, local polling, and a mock election.<br />
If you are interested I'll be hosting a Wednesday July 30th skype call at 10:00 a.m. pacific. My skype account is jkrauss1989. Feel free to make me your contact.<br />
Please add your ideas to the wiki, invite others, in general start thinking about what is critical for kids to know and do as a result of studying civics during this election year (and how to make it fun!)
