Videoconferences and online projects are powerful learning experiences in technology-rich classrooms like our eMINTS rooms.  Through these projects, students learn through the Internet in ways that tie to our curricular goals to authentic tasks.  Students apply higher-level thinking skills to collaborate, solve problems and communicate learning to a wide audience beyond the classroom.
