30hands is taking the elearning platform to the next level by combining the free flow and conversational aspects of Collaborative, Social Learning with the structured and comprehensive classroom aspects of more traditional Learning Management (LMS).

Bilingual education and second language immersion programs have operated on the premise that the bilingual student's two languages should be kept rigidly separate. Although it is appropriate to maintain a separate space for each language, it is also important to teach for transfer across languages. In other words, it is useful to explore bilingual instructional strategies for teaching bilingual students rather than assuming that monolingual instructional strategies are inherently superior. The paper explores the interplay between bilingual and monolingual instructional strategies within dual language programs and suggests concrete strategies for optimizing students' bilingual development

It is ironic that, with all we know about the benefits of collaborative, inquiry-based learning for students, we struggle to create the same rich learning opportunities for teachers. Reports like Reading Next[1] and What Makes Middle Schools Work[2] highlight the benefits of collaboration for both students and teachers, while emerging research suggests that inquiry-based approaches empower teachers to advance their practice and student learning.
