The GLP encourages students to digitally document their educational experiences with photos and videos and then share them with other schools who are doing the same. In the this video example you can see students on a field trip learning about blacksmithing.This focus on learning the local history and culture helps students appreciate where they live and encourages them to learn about other local cultures via the GLP website. As you can see from the video, the kids love using the video camera to show off their newfound knowledge. This “technology in the classroom” revolution is only beginning. Please start experimenting in your classroom to see how technology can help you inspire your students.
