KSTL - Lay out what it looked like last year...thenBump it up a notch!

Ideas for “next” year? If this is something that can still be promoted, in the midst of failing budgets, presented in the same venue at K-State Manhattan here is our opportunity. I wanted to say I have always tried to find ways to promote critical thinking skills as it embeds in the curriculum, the learning, and of course, the evaluation of projects.

How about an “open source” approach and offer competitions using projects designed in Scratch, Google Earth, and Sketchup? Slim down to two and we’d have some excitement? Keep what is relevant and continue to let what isn't working be re-worked.

 I feel if we can promote the questions, be it an environmental issue, a recycling(green) thing, etc. ---or how about a TED-talk spin-off?

Tanya, would you like to pick up the ball here? lead us, keep us organized, set dates on the calendar for us as we go forward?

All thoughts wanted. Karla

p.s. Happy Easter!
