Australian and American Students Collaborate on Environmental Research
Overview Australian and American Students wanted to participate in the knowledge economy, youth must gain 21st century skills while using technology to think, create, communicate, and collaborate. Teachers needed effective strategies to help their students acquire 21st century skills. Motivated by the Intel Teach Program, educators from two small towns on opposite sides of the globe engaged their students in a cross-cultural, environmental research project employing Web 2.0 technologies. The result: students not only honed essential 21st century skills - including digital literacy, critical thinking, collaboration, and problem solving - they also acquired a more global perspective on environmental issues and were inspired to make positive changes in their communities.
