Join educator Bill Farren as he travels through four South American countries-three of them chosen by students. Class members will get to vote on what countries their teacher/guide visits and decide on the types of activities the class embarks on. Through their guide, students will interact with local people, ask them questions, request various media, and help solve real problems-all in an engaging format: participatory learning. Who is it for? Learners from all over the world: HS students, college students, homeschoolers, unschoolers, adult learners and classroom teachers: (HS or Univ) who'd like to enrich and connect their own class to this one.

Includes a lesson, examples, exercises to try and check, a scientific notation genrator for more problems, and real world applications relating to science.

For a generation of students with instant access to information, Challenge Based Learning (CBL) is an engaging multidisciplinary approach to teaching that lets students leverage the technology they use in their daily lives to solve real-world problems. CBL is collaborative and hands on, asking students to work with other students, their teachers, and experts in their communities and around the world to develop deeper knowledge of the subjects they are studying, accept and solve challenges, and share their results with the world.

Algodoo is a 2D-simulation environment for creating interactive scenes in a playful, cartoony manner, making use of the physics that we use to explain our real world. Algodoo is designed to encourage young people's own creativity, ability and motivation to construct knowledge. The synergy of science and art makes Algodoo as educational as it is entertaining. Algodoo applies a constructionistic learning paradigm - learning by designing, constructing and exploring physical systems. Design, interact and explore - It's Physics like never before!

When we teach math we are helping our students establish a framework for interpreting the world. One of the worst ways I know to help them establish that framework is to print an illustration of a real-world scene in a textbook, write in only the relevant measurements, and tell the students in the text of the problem which formula or strategy to apply. This leaves a student helpless and unprepared (in the mathematical, analytical sense) should she ever encounter the world that exists outside the pages of her textbook. So we instead bring digital media from the world into the classroom, simulations of the world as students experience it, artifacts which students can discuss and to which they can apply frameworks of their choice. In order to leave students capable and prepared for their encounters with the world, this media must be captured and presented very intentionally.

What is it for? WinSplit Revolution is a small utility which allows you to easily organize your open windows by tiling, resizing and positioning them to make the best use of your desktop real estate. What can it do? WinSplit is especially useful for high-end LCD screens with high resolutions because it helps you to efficiently manage many active windows. For example WinSplit is useful for owners of the Dell 2407FPW monitor. As you can see in the screenshots below, the advantages of using WinSplit is that it saves you from having to drag and drop windows by allowing you to snap windows into specific tiled configurations using simple keyboard hotkeys.

Connects math, science, technology & engineering to the real world of careers & achievement, so that students can envision a context & purpose for what they are learning.

Some cool ones with real-world math applications.
