Amazing
What an amazing experiment. I hope this idea spreads.
I am inspired!
True learning taking place for each student...will definitely spread the word to my peers.
The EAST Project is a very inspiring idea, especially that it shows you how students can be motivated to contribute their efforts in something real. The students learn new skills that will really help them in their real life endeavors.
Ongoing teacher training is the key to all that progress. Students are already handling all the devices they need for real life experiences, but unfortunately,very few teachers are speaking the same language as their students. When it comes to technology, we, teachers, are far behind our students.
After seeing this video, I certainly believe that these students are prepared for the world. The key is not just only using technology but taking the stuff they have learnt somewhere else and applying it. A class without walls
This is how we prepare students for 21 century competencies. teachers have to be aware of an important point , they are preparing their students for a world different than the one they were learning in.
What an amazing project! This is such an awesome way to integrate technology, Science, and current environmental topics with real life skills. What an innovative way to teach!
