Description
How do we go about providing experiences for gifted students that transcend the compartmentalized grade-level curriculum and prepare them to participate in a global society? How can we engage them in experiencing the wider world beyond their school buildings? Stu¬dents are no longer tied to the knowledge and skills found within their school walls, and are able not only to research areas of interest, but also to connect with others that share their same deep interests. Let’s take a tour through a multitude of technology resources and project ideas that empower students to develop their critical, creative, and problem-solving and inquiry skills, while learning to be a good digital citizen.
