We are a team of educators, librarians, education researchers, city officials, local historians, and stakeholders from Alcoa-Maryville. We are interested in using our own communities as the content of teaching and learning and providing students the agency to research and craft stories about how Alcoa-Maryville got where we are today.

How we got started |
Where we're going |
|
This effort began as a conversation between Maryville's Mayoral Office, a group of teachers and historians, and education researchers. We felt that it was a good time to highlight the many stories of our area that have made the schools, the place, and the people exceptional.
|
We are supporting students to research and create digital, mobile stories of Alcoa and Maryville. Participating students will learn how to use place-based technologies, do archival research, and build digital narratives for a mobile application. This app will inform residents, visitors, and future students of histories that make our place distinctive.
