Register a team for the Reinventing School Challenge [Aug. 27, 2011, 7:52 a.m.]
The Reinventing School Challenge is a project that uses design, collaboration, technology, play and social media to engage and empower young people to effect positive change in their school community.
We invite students, teachers, parents, subject matter experts all to to collaborate. Form or join a team and research, ideate, design, remix and prototype new possibilities and reinvent the school experience.
There is a renewed focus globally on the 3 R’s – reading, writing, and arithmetic, however if our young people are to fully participate in today’s global community, students must also master the 4 C’s – creativity, critical thinking, communication, and collaboration. See the definitions on the P21 4 C’s here.
I'm sure your school and community has a wealth of talent, experience and resources that can be applied to a social innovation challenge like this so please do get involved and shine!
Learning happens everywhere
