Our project is learning about alternative energies (solar, wind, etc.) being used or researched in Arizona, USA. We would also like to find out what other alternative energies are being used around the world. Please join our conversation by adding comments to our VoiceThread collaborative project.

This project is designed for students that currently have an aquaponics (with plants and fish) system at their school and are learning about it. Students will study the interdependence of fish and plants by learning the nitrogen cycle. Students will create slideshows or video podcasts to show and explain their aquaponics system.

ARGuing for Multilingual Motivation in Web 2.0 (ARGuing) is a European Union education project.

The project has created the first use of an Alternate Reality Game for motivating secondary school students to learn languages. The project has also learnt how an ARG can be adapted to almost any area of education.

The game that was created was called ' The Tower of Babel' and included a story designed to engage the target student group. The students had to save the planet by completing specific quests, collaboratively and internationally. The project has been a huge success with over 400 teachers and students from 17 countries playing the game ' The Tower of Babel'. In the final pilot over 9,000 quests were answered and 800 files uploaded.

In this project students will attempt to determine whether or not the same fresh water macroinvertebrates (organisms that can be seen with a hand lens) will be found in different locations, both around the country and around the world.

This project taps into some of the exciting applications of the Internet in education by having students access real time ocean data. The students will track an actual ship at sea, determine its destination, and predict when it will arrive at its port of call. In addition, students will use the engineering design process to design, create, and test a travel bag.

Hello,

We're are trying to get a U K partner for a project called "earth care", related to environment, recycling, green house, renewable energies, atmospheric pollution... The aim is to make our students (from 11 to 15) get involved in those project and create a link with a UK school doing the same. We've planned to talk to them only in english (I'm a physic and chimistry teacher, and my collegue associated to the project is an english teacher), and we'd like to find a school doing the same in french. To make students get as far as possible involved in the project, our idea would be to be able to meet (by the way of an exchange?), so that the students could compare their works and associate it to organized visits in the foreign country in relation to the subject (recycling factory, renewable energies...). We've already registered to "etwinning", and are going to do it in "commenius".

Our 2nd grade classes are learning about the sun, the moon and weather this year. We thought it would be great to have a relationship with 1 other Northern Hemisphere and two Southern Hemisphere classes throughout the year to compare the length of days, the seasons, the weather, how holidays are celebrated etc. throughout the year.

Scientists tell us that the largest number our minds can really comprehend is about 100,000. Then how do we understand bigger numbers, like one million? What does one million look like? How much space does it take up? These seem like impossible questions. Well we decided to make the impossible, possible. See the details below to find out how you can help.

The Kindersite Project is a global free resource for young learners and ESL of 1,000s of links to graded content. It is being utilized as a resource for education in 18,000 schools in 157 countries.

My grade 7/8 class would like

Recycling is one of the best

Take a tree, some sun, the seasons, and temperature. Mix in technology and extension activities. Add a roomful of smiles and a year full of learning. You’ve got the perfect recipe for a motivating project in which students collect and share information with another class about their environment.

We are an Elementary school in Queens New York. I would like to start SKYPING schools all over the place to truly demonstrate (to our/ possibly all - students) we are a "Global Village!"

Video and Audio Please e-mail addresses Postal mailing addresses too- old fashion I know! But it is difficult to share physical objects students create OVER the WEB.

This Internet-based collaborative project will allow your students to share information about the plants, animals and non-living objects found in their schoolyard environment with other students from around the country and the world.

Students are guided through the Internet to find out what was happening in the world on the day they were born. If teachers are interested, student results may be included in "The Day I Was Born Online History Book". Please see Full Project Description for more details about the project.

The Green Wave is a tree planting initiative that enables children and youth to make a difference - one school, one tree, one step at a time. It brings together students and teachers from around the world to raise awareness about biodiversity, and the need to reduce its loss. The campaign will contribute to the Billion Tree Campaign.

In participating schools, students plant a tree. On 22 May, the International Day of Biological Diversity (IBD), students around the world will count down to 10:00 local time, when they will water their tree in their respective schoolyards, creating a figurative 'green wave' starting in the far east and traveling west around the world.

Throughout the day, students will upload photos and text summaries to greenwave.cbd.int to share their tree-planting story with other children and youth from around the world. An interactive map depicting all the Green Wave trees will go live at 20:10 local time, thereby creating a second 'green wave'.

The 5th grade students at River Ridge are reading the book Night of the Twisters by Ivy Ruckman. If you've had any experience with tornadoes, we invite you to visit our wiki and share your experiences so we can add it to our data. We are interested in finding out where the most tornadoes occur, what size they are, and about the experiences other students have had. We look forward to hearing from you!

Students will study different aspects of weather depending on their grade level and curriculum. They will use Web 2.0 tools to showcase their learning on this collaborative Internet project's wiki.
