Back in October 2012 I made my first Little Box of Poems - this is a self-contained box that prints out a random short poem when you press a big red shiny button. I like having poems instead of receipts in my wallet. And it makes a good educational project combining physics (wiring), DT (making the box), ICT (programming) and English (writing or finding poems

Many of these are setting anyone can turn on that make the audio and visual easier to see and hear.

Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) have the potential to enable free university-level education on an enormous scale.

The Community of Scientists project seeks to pair up NH classrooms for inquiry-based science co-investigations, using technology for video and voice communication.  Teachers at Winchester School (K-8) in Winchester, NH, are working out initial technology questions by creating a Community of Scientists with Elementary Education Methods II students at Keene State College. The pilot project is to co-investigate hydroponics as a sustainable option for growing food rapidly in smaller areas. It entails setting up a simple classroom hydroponics station where students will explore how to best grow plants hydroponically.  KSC students will conduct and monitor their hydroponics experiments while students in Winchester School conduct similar experiment in their own hydroponic station in their classroom.  Students will then video chat with their co-investigators and share their findings.
