The exhibits reflect authentic practices in teaching and leadership and highlight virtual field trips and educational events that engage educators in discussions around improvement in education.
Elementary School Exhibits
Buddy Up: A Service-Learning Adventure
This project involves the third graders and kindergarteners at Center Woods Elementary School in Weare, NH. Working collaboratively to meet a community need, the third graders enhance their learning experiences while creating a program that welcomes the kindergarteners to their new school.
Great Mentors for New Teachers
This project helped expand collaborative partnerships between teacher preparation programs and K-12 schools by identifying mentor teachers at the elementary, middle, and high schools for pre-service teachers to visit, observe, and emulate. The creation of video exhibits provided an avenue for dialogue between pre-service and in-service teachers, as well as an opportunity for them to enhance their technology skills.
Special Education Technology Fair
Explore over 25 hardware and software devices that help students with disabilities succeed in general education classrooms! Students studying for certification in general special education investigate technology resources in this project that culminates in a Special Education Technology Fair.
Under the Sea, The Electronic Portfolio and Me
This project was designed to teach educators media applications which students can use to expand their Personal Learning Portfolios (PLPs). Students created various artifacts in the different media and uploaded the files to their PLPs.
Using Emerging Skills with Sign Language
Preservice teachers integrate technology into a kindergarten classroom as they use sign language and persona dolls to demonstrate how people with hearing loss communicate with each other and the world at large.
Middle School Exhibits
Finding the Words to Change the World
This new teacher finds that the classroom often serves as a backdrop to the sagas of teen life. This is evident when a class discussion on Shakespeare's "Taming of the Shrew" peaks when they make the connection between the play and the movie, "10 Things I Hate About You".

Human Transport Systems: An Electronic Collection of Student Work
In this exhibit, students are introduced to the state standards and taught how to document their learning via a personal learning portfolio (PLP). In a collaborative project between the fifth and eighth grades, students in both grades learn how to use a PLP and become comfortable with state standards.
Life in New England: 1750-1850
In this project, students gain knowledge and an understanding of early American life by learning about the history of New England during the period of 1750-1850. After using the computer to research such topics as transportation, family life, economy, farming, architecture, and education, students use the program Inspiration to outline and organize their information. Finally, the students create computer-generated brochures to explain the aspects of early American life.
Space Exploration: Case Based Pedagogy
The students in this eighth grade science class were learning about space exploration missions through a video downloaded from a NASA web site. The lesson occurred during a block scheduled class, after which the students began constructing paper models of the solar system. The culminating activity was NASA's "Mission to Mars" project.

High School Exhibits
Great Mentors for New Teachers!
This project helped expand collaborative partnerships between teacher preparation programs and K-12 schools by identifying mentor teachers at the elementary, middle, and high schools for pre-service teachers to visit, observe, and emulate. The creation of video exhibits provided an avenue for dialogue between pre-service and in-service teachers, as well as an opportunity for them to enhance their technology skills.
Projectile Motion: Let It Drop!
This lesson utilizes digital video in giving students a clearer understanding of projectiles. The lesson encompasses two parts. The first part pertains to projectiles that are launched horizontally, and the second part deals with projectiles that are launched at an angle.
Scotland Then & Now
This exhibit is an interdisciplinary lesson based on the reading of William Shakespeare's MacBeth. Three high school teachers from West High School in Manchester, NH, collaborated to combine social studies, English, and business classes to create a project reflecting the students' separate knowledge of their disciplines.
