This poster presentation will be the Continuing Story of the Ignite on this same subject. I want to show an innovative way of combining the four language arts standards, into a student-relevant experience, instead of the traditional sit and get education they have had for years. There will be handouts and video that explain how students in this environment learn in an interactive classroom, moving through the process of researching a passion, teaching an idea to the teacher and persuading a controversy to their audience, convincing them to agree with their premise. Along the way students are informed by mentors and experts from the community via email, facetime and sometimes actual face to face. Current modes of student delivery of the final products are Ted-Talk-like presentations and Podcasts, which both introduce them to how the world is communicating today. This poster session will include some of the students' TED-like Talks that were presented.
