All,

Tom McGee from Lower Merion School District in Pennsylvania is looking

Best,

Heather

*PROJECT LEMONADE
*


       An Authentic Real-World Problem-Based Learning Activity for
       students in grades 3-8
       Around the Globe- Promoting Learning 24-7!!

**

This is a collaborative project hosted by the Lower Merion School 
District in Ardmore, PA, and classrooms around the globe.  Inspired by 
the true story of Alex Scott, Project Lemonade was started to get kids 
to think about how they can make a difference in the world by thinking 
of creative ways to solve real world problems.  Alex's Lemonade Stand 
has gained national attention, and has raised millions of dollars for 
pediatric Cancer Research because of Alex Scott's idea of selling 
lemonade on her street block.

This project will encompass the participation of classrooms all over the 
world.  A 5 month long project duration will enable classrooms to 
connect, whenever, wherever.  5 videoconference events will take place 
to get the excitement going, and connect kids from other countries. 
Through videoconferncing and blogging, students from different cultures 
will work together to solve real problems in their own school, 
community, country, and the world.  Students will debate, discuss, and 
generate questions based on essential questions that will drive the 
project.  The project will culminate with a product to be shared via 
video, podcast, etc.  This project is about real world problems and how 
we deal with them.

We're looking for approximately 10 schools, maybe more, to collaborate 
across the globe.  We will pair up schools to connect with each other 
through the blog, epals, and the wiki.  These schools will collaborate 
together to discuss, share, debate the problems in their environment.

*The BIG Idea:*
How can kids make a difference?  (Alex's Lemonade stand is just one 
example!)
When life hands "you" lemons, what will "you" do?  How will "you" make 
lemonade?

*Project Goals:*

     * Get kids connecting globally whenever, wherever
     * Interacting with students from other cultures
     * Getting kids to solve real world problems
     * Tapping into different learning styles through creative uses of 
technology and choice of project ideas
     * Interaction and participation beyond just the VC component
     * Student- Driven

*What Will The Videoconferencing Look Like:*

     * 5 month long project
     * Set Videoconferences up with kids hosting and coordinate with 
different time zones
     * 5 Videconference events (one per month)
     * Schools will be encouraged to "buddy up" with a school from a 
different country
     * Schools may need to be flexible to participate when they are not 
normally in session


*Classroom Requirements: *

     * Each class will post blog comments once a month or respond to 
another comment
     * Each class will have their own wiki page (within the project 
wiki) to construct whenever, wherever
     * Each class will produce a 2-4 minute "reflective" video on the 
project


*Individual Student Requirement:*

     * Each student will produce a reflective project to answer the 
question, "When life hands you lemons, what would would you do?"
     * Student's will choose the medium- samples: a podcast, a 
persuasive writing piece, a written narrative, a poem, a musical song or rap
     * Projects will be
     * Rubric will be provided to all participating schools

*
