Are you looking for a way to integrate personalized learning or student-led projects into your classroom or other learning environment? The Vermont Folklife Center's "Students, Digital Storytelling, and Place-Based Learning" 4-day Institute offers hands-on experience exploring the methods of community-based research and the techniques of digital storytelling as a means to facilitate meaningful student involvement with the communities in which they live. Working with community resources and digital media tools represent rich opportunities for personalized, student-led learning experiences—with the capacity to engage both high-performing and at-risk students.

This student-directed research model facilitates the development of transferable skills such as clear and effective communication, responsible and involved citizenship, creative and practical problem solving, and informed and integrative thinking.
