I’m intrigued by all of the buzz that’s coming out of Google Education. ..Really need to find time to explore!
If you’ve been looking for new ways to engage your students in collaborative problem solving, here’s a unique opportunity to do just that.Starting on October 17th, 2006, we’re inviting teachers to join us in a project that gives students a chance to collectively brainstorm strategies for fighting global warming — and have their ideas published in a full-page ad in the Washington Post.We hope this project, which should take 1-2 days to complete, helps you test the waters with software for online collaboration – and helps your students learn about the environment and civic participation.

I am also very interested in Google’s new push into education. I completed the application and was accepted to take part in their Google Teacher’s Academy day on November 7, 2006 at their campus in Mountain View, CA. Once the day finishes, I’ll blog about the experience!
Part of the application is a one minute (max) video we had to complete. I mention you in one section of it!
