Seeds are Crawled!

Finished posting the third set of "seeds" from the three collections that the students identified for the K-12 Web Archiving Pilot Project. We are now listed on ARCHIVE-IT!

The students' collected sites were interesting and varied. Some were sites that I had never visited and others are popular among adults as well as teens. Each of the collections are set to be crawled once a week and the students can look back and see the changes.

We described our three collections as follows:
Education-Information
This collection titled "Education-Information" by the Journalism students at Miramonte High School is a collection of sites they use to access information. These sites help them do everything from completing school assignments to getting into college to accessing the information they want on music and movies. Favorite sites to read the news, relax, as well as to make the world a better place were listed by these 9th-12th grade students as part of the K-12 Web Archiving Pilot Project.
Recreation
Entertainment on the web - the seeds in this collection titled "Recreation" by the Journalism students at Miramonte High School are a time capsule of sites teens access for entertainment, music, games and sports. The sites were chosen by 9th-12th grade students as part of the K-12 Web Archiving Pilot Project.
Consumption
Consumption or "shopping online" is a collection of sites selected by the Journalism students at Miramonte High School. This collection lists their favorite retail sites from tickets to electronics to fashion to books. The sites were chosen by 9th-12th grade students as part of the K-12 Web Archiving Pilot Project.
