Rensche Diggeden will present
Think Collaboration
This presentation is for educators who want to explore ways to facilitate global collaboration and project-based learning within their school.
ThinkQuest and Think.com are unique resources for engaging students in collaborative projects that enhance development of 21st Century Skills.
Learning is a social phenomenon, which is why the Think programs engage and inspire students. Few students are motivated to write for an audience of one -- their teacher.
By providing a wider yet protected audience, the Think programs turn students into multimedia authors for a global community, allowing peers to think and learn together.
This presentation will begin with an in depth look at Think.com and ThinkQuest. It will also give practical examples of how the Think programs can be implemented and used in schools.
Intended Audience: Primary and Secondary
