Hi everyone,
I'm looking for participants for an online collaborative project. It's called "The Garbage Project" and it's an information exchange involving how much trash we throw away, perfect for a lesson about recycling and the environment.
Here is an overview:
The goal of this educational project for students is to provide an opportunity to gather and analyze data in order to guide their understanding of the importance of responsible waste disposal. Using online student-collected data, they will discover how much garbage is produced by their household within a week's time. | |
By collecting data in an online environment, students can share information about garbage generation and recycling habits with others from across the country and around the world. This collaboration will allow for greater learning by teaching students to work together to solve problems, increasing and promoting interdisciplinary study across the curriculum, and broadening their understanding and appreciation of different cultures and global environmental issues.
Please visit the project website for more information and to register http://web.utk.edu/~jenscag/thegarbageproject/ , and feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I hope to have classrooms from all over the world join in!
Thanks for taking the time to read this and I hope some of you will participate!
Jennifer S.
