  9. K-20 Collaboration

  10. Goals of Pacific Lighthouse • To evaluate the performance of Internet2 technologies (e.g., MediaWeb), and identify issues associated with use • To determine how teachers and students might use digital collections as primary source materials • To assess the usefulness of multi-media digital collections for pedagogical purposes

  11. Potential Content Partners • The ResearchChannel (UW) • Radio stations KEXP (Seattle) and KCRW (Santa Monica) • The Densho Project and Visual History Foundation (Survivors of the SHOAH) • California Digital Library (UC) • Conversations with History (UC) • The Jason Project

  12. Potential School Partners • Aberdeen Schools, WA • Tukwila Schools, WA • Seattle Schools, WA • Tulare County Schools, CA • Pomona Schools, CA • Other CA and WA schools TBA

  13. Parallel Project • Pacific Lighthouse is a complementary project to Viewing the Future, a video repository aligned with Michigan educational standards that is being created by a partnership between UW and MERIT

  14. Scaling Up • By means of the SEGP structure, the National Internet2 K-20 initiative will leverage both Pacific Lighthouse and Viewing the Future to provide access to a wide variety of on-demand media first to additional states, and then to the national K-20 community
