Apple Learning Interchange Features GenYES Project
Sean Connolly, a GenYES student, created a project that was not only selected for the GenYES Student Projects CD (a copy is given to every GenYES student), but was even featured on the Apple Learning Interchange, an online showcase of technology integrated lessons.

Sean Connolly is a tenth grade student at Hudson Falls High School in Hudson Falls, NY and has participated in a GenYES class taught by Ms. Layden. He partnered with history teacher Mr. Matthew Rozell to create a project: WWII Living History: Using Digital Video to Appreciate Veterans. You can see his project on the Apple Learning Interchange here.
