Rationale:
This project was taught to a third-year professional writing class consisting of students from all majors of life. The theme of the course was "Social Media: Transforming Professional Communication Practices," and as such each project required a certain degree of participation in social media platforms. In this case, students were asked to create a Wordpress blog and envision themselves as an intern or new employee at a zoological rescue/rehabilitation center (obscure, I know, but I wanted to choose one organization for the entire class to help facilitate class discussions and have a more centralized and relevant common course content).
Submission deadline: March 1, 2012
Conference date: October 11-13, 2012
Conference location: Boulder, CO

Teresa Henning and Elizabeth Desy have a great article in the Journal of Effective Teaching (Vol 8, No 2) covering the details of a service learning project with museums. If you employ service learning techniques in your classes, teach science literacy, or just like to get your students out of the classroom, the article is worth a read.
