This summer, I began consulting with an NSF-funded summer enrichment program for high school students based at Temple University called bITS (Building Information Technology Skills), wher I am introducing concepts of Universal Design and Visitability to the students.
My colleague Carol Marfisi informs me that several years ago the former chair of the Mayor's Commmission on People with Disabilities (Philadelphia) was involved in an innovative program for high school students that sent groups of students out to different neighborhoods around the city and challenged them to document the accessibility of these environments. They were provided with important tools such as odometers, and knowledge gained through this project must be invaluable. I would be interested in contacting some of the leaders of this or similar projects.
Dear readers! Do you know the names the teachers or the schools that were involved in this or similar projects? Are there any reports, papers or other media that documente this work? Are there collections of images or videos/DVDs that you recommend as training resources for my students? I am already aware of the materials made available by Eleanor Smith at Concrete Change. But I am sure there is more out there.
I hope to develop a community-based project that the students can get involved in this fall. Basic information on the program can be found at this site, http://bits.delawarevalley.org/ I look forward to helpful insights from the posts and ensuing conversations.
Sincerely, Mike

The word "shanzhai" is very popular in China. It is industry phenomenon of imitation, high quality and low price. Moreover, cell phones are the representative of them.The global financial crisis led to a significant shrinkage of assets for people. "china wholesale" demonstrate the might. most of them would like buy the cheap cell phones now .
Through google search engine, when you put in "discount cell phones", you will find more than 15,000 pieces of related information. Cell phone china has been concerned in the world. Many international sellers can get a considerable profit by ways of wholesale cell phones from China and switch selling. So it is a very good job on cell phones wholesale in the current financial crisis.
