Google Literature Trips and More

Great uses of Google Apps in Education. The following video shows a group of students who used Google Apps - Doc, Spreadsheets, Gmail, Sites, Analytics and Forms to win $10,000 in the Scholastic/Lexus EcoChallenge!


Check out the following website for more Google Apps in Education ideas...including a Google Literature Trip assignment for Cold Mountain that was created for a group of high level 8th graders.

How to Escape Education's Death Valley

Another video by my idol, Sir Ken Robinson. This is a must see video for all those who value the diversity of human creativity and achievement!

Finland - individualized learning - that's the ticket!

We have to give discretion back to the students and teachers!


This is the whole reason I have become a STRETCh Instructor - to create engaging and personalized choices for children in learning! Learning should be engaging and fun! Some of the best learning occurs when you don't even realize you're learning!
