Holly Lannert

Lannert winning program, "The Amazing Hunt Through Ancient Civilizations," incorporates a slice from reality television and technology. The students will become 'reality video podcast' hosts. Not only will they get to demonstrate their knowledge of the communication system, inventions and daily life of an ancient civilization, they will become proficient in using various types of technology, including video and digital cameras, netbooks, and a Smart Board. The students will also involve the intranet and Internet viewers by developing a challenge question and activity challenges, as well as develop rules for the game and act as directors and producers. Approximately 125 sixth-grade students at Stuart R. Paddock Elementary School will participate, but the reach will be much greater when the project is uploaded to the Internet. Lannert resides in South Elgin.
