Reading David Warlick’s blog, 2 cents Worth, I came across a post about a collaboration/project site that holds promise. Taking straight from their website, “Think.com is now part of ThinkQuest — A learning platform where teachers and students create learning projects, participate in a website competition, and browse a library of student projects. Integrate learning projects into your classroom curriculum. Choose a topic, assign students, invite teachers, and collaborate with members around the world.” Imagine being able to take your students beyond the worksheet and work on a project (21st Century learning!) where they can internalize the academics, and enjoy it at the same time! Imagine working on a climate project where data from Portsmouth can be shared with other countries, or maybe sharing other cultural studies! There are lots of possibilities–take a look and see what ideas you come up with. Curious? Drop me a comment above!
