Welcome to the Edge Project Social Network

The Edge Project is part of Global Kids recent support from the MacArthur Foundation to expand the capacity of civic and cultural institutions to use new media as innovative educational platforms that engage youth in learning and promote youth civic participation. More specifically, the Edge Project is interested in civic and cultural institutions bringing cutting edge digital media into their youth educational programs. It is equally interested in where this type of programming - due to technology, its pedagogical implications or both - is a disruptive force challenging the educators and/or the institutional cultural to work on the edge of their comfort level.

Global Kids hopes this site will serve to publicly support these programs, share our findings, and encourage those following this work to connect with one another. Read more about The Edge Project.

NC Bitstrips

Comics via Bitstrips were made in uCreate as another way to illustrate their stories. They were asked to create a story about a choice they made (we looked back on the timelines we created earlier in the project for some ideas). Some of the guys stuck to something personal while others chose to create characters and a story from scratch.

NC Time Lines

These timelines were made in uCreate, also using Voicethread. The guys were given the task of choosing four major 'things' in their life (i.e. an influential person, an event, etc.) that required them to make a choice which impacted them greatly. They then added a piece to their timeline about the future-where would they like to see themselves ten years from now.
