UI Interior Design students to help design remodel

I just had a very productive meeting with Miranda Anderson on the UI faculty about her students doing a project with Palouse Prairie to design the remodel of the Now & Then facility for use as our school.

UI students will collaborate with Palouse Prairie on the design for the remodel of the school. While this won't be an "Expedition" in EL terms, it has many of the elements: integrated curriculum, teamwork, authentic problem, and service to community. And, while ELS doesn't talk as much about it, assessment of the students' learning/project outcomes open to the community. Watch for announcement of the final project presentation this fall.

Trying to think in Web 2.0 ways, I put the photos I have of Now & Then into a Palouse Prairie Flickr group for the UI students.
