Looking for a opportunity to inspire students to think about their world? Check out The Nobelity Project http://nobelity.org/ -started by Austinite - Turk Pipkin.
The film - One Peace at a Time is showing at the Arbor Cinema in the Austin Arboretum.
It is FREE this week for teachers and students!
This is a moving, thoughtful movie about what individuals can do to make a difference in the world. I highly encourage you to see it this week. At the evening showings through Wednesday, the filmmaker will be in attendance.
The organization is working on curriculum components which will be launched in January, but don't miss this opportunity to see the film for free and ask Turk your questions after the film.
Here is an example of an online vocabulary game that students can play to help donate rice to areas of need:

There are many more small and big ways students can learn by helping others through their instructional technology resources. See the movie or e-mail me to find out more...
