At Nashville State Community College, I am using my Capstone class in Web and Multimedia Design to bring organizations into my classroom. My class becomes a design team producing podcasts, web sites, video, etc. for those business clients. This semester, the students are creating a DVD for the Nashville Area Habitat for Humanity Volunteers Department.
I attended our Department advisory Cmte meeting the other day where the subject of Service Learning was brought up. I was amazed at how every point they brought up was what I was already implementing in the classroom and I voiced that fact.
Is anyone there wanting to implement Service Learning into your curriculum? How are you planning to go about it?
