Project+Intro

Distance collaboration project Eric Means-Lindbergh High School, St. Louis, MO

Rationale: Groups of students will use multi-media instruments to communicate with each other in order to research 19th century psychological treatment theories and institutions. Each group will be responsible for different aspects of the culminating project. The psychology students will assume the responsibility for educating others on the diagnostic approaches and treatments of mental illness during the 19th century, while the social studies students will examine many of the institutions that were constructed during this period, particularly in the New England region.
