A few of our middle schoolers had a ‘leaving to learn’ opportunity this week. These students spent most of a day at Windsor High School working with Mary Wesley and Trisha Denton from the Vermont Folklife Center. They learned all about audio storytelling. They were able to use some pretty amazing recording equipment to record interviews with each other. They also learned how to edit their recordings!
