From Montreal to Mazatlån, Honolulu to the Hamptons, if you’re looking for ways to engage students in authentic research, presentation skills and use of technology then you’ll want to be involved in the 2009-2010 Kids Creating Community Content (KC3) Contest.

THE CONTEST

Circling the globe from east to west, urban or rural, we each live in a unique community. What can we learn from our area, from our varied citizens or natural resources? This standards based project seeks to tap into the creative nature of students as they look at their community with new eyes and explore ways to share their findings with others using videoconferencing and technology as a resource.

THE CHALLENGE

Students in grades 6 - 12 create an engaging and dynamic videoconference content program about their community to be offered to classrooms internationally.
