Summary : Day Two Down!

Today was the second day of the Digital Legacies Project. I think the students literally sat through a six hour history lesson...and were still asking questions and sharing their thoughts by the end of the day! I was amazed. Steve Cohen, a professor from Tufts University, came in the afternoon to talk about Boston in the 1960's and 70's. He told a fascinating story of white flight, segregated schools, and the 1974 busing crisis. Everyone had such great questions and comments! Tomorrow everyone finds out what group they'll be working in to make their film and which civil rights activist in Boston they'll be interviewing. I can't wait to see everyone tomorrow!
