Questions for Elizabeth:
Could you please tell us about your school and your role there? What is the unique approach your school has taken regarding use of tools for an inquiry-based approach? How long has it taken your school taken to move to this approach? How did you become involved in the Youth With Video Darfur project? Please give us an update on the project.....
