Not only are the students learning about these topics right now, but these will be memories and moments they will take with them forever! I'm sure some of them will say, "Remember when we were in fourth grade, and we got to see that airplane being constructed?" You're making an impact!

Having students experience Google Hangouts my spark their interest as to what they may want to pursue when they get older because of the accessibility to information. They can get first hand research of topics. I like the way you use technology in the classroom!

When learning information becomes relevant that is when the real power of education emerges. Your students are not just learning random facts out of a textbook, they are seeing science in action. These experiences may spark curiosity and interest in your students as they choose their future paths. I am a high school science teacher and I am embarrassed to say that I had not heard of the Solar Impulse. I am interested to find out more...a week to fly around the world? How fast are they going? How are we planning on using this technology? I would be interested also to hear how you found out about these opportunities and how this would work in a high school where I have different students every hour.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01071941219569445030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8709990567902176268.post-86765620575226881422014-03-03T10:11:04.978-08:002014-03-03T10:11:04.978-08:00Outstanding.
