Eustis High School is located in Eustis, Florida; a residential community located approximately 30 miles northwest of Orlando, Florida. Our students begin their high school career in a 9th grade center, and complete their 10th through 12 grade years on the main campus. Our school population represents a geographically large area that includes the woods of Ocala National forest, several lakes including Lake Eustis, and assorted townships with the city of Eustis at its center. Since a fateful freeze in the 1980's, and growth in our population, Eustis is no longer a predominantly citrus growing and semi-rural community. However, many of our students still enjoy the country life, with fishing and hunting, boating and horseback riding popular activities.

10th-12th grade students from a web design class and an American History class are participating in this year's K-12 Web Archiving project. It is our first experience with web archiving, but the students have assumed full responsibility for categorizing and crawling their selected web sites. Approximately 30 students from nine different classes meet bi-weekly to crawl, annotate and monitor the web archiving project.

Students approach the web archiving project as a form of digital media literacy. Prior to their creation of collections and describing their web sites, students create web collections and metatags in a "moodle"; an on-line space for collaborating, uploading and revising shared documents. The moodle serves as a safe space for critically evaluating and discussing which web sites and how often these sites should be archived. Once the class reaches a consensus, web sites are assigned to a collection, and each student writes the description and assesses the significance of the site for teens, popular culture and future historians. The first semester of our school's block schedule ended January 15 and new classes will be introduced to the web archiving project. The same classes, web design and American History, will be responsible for archiving, but different students will be managing the project. We expect second semester to be the most productive since we have learned much in just the last few months.
