Ever wondered \u00a0how to encourage your classroom to be more active in collaborative projects? Well here are some online projects they can join to earn some extra credit:<\/div>\n
TEDTalks\u2019 Open Translation Project<\/strong><\/div>\n
Not only does this project give your students the opportunity to learn about the world around them, it also gives them the chance to work in teams to complete translations in the language that they are most familiar with. For some students, it might also pose a great chance to hone their language skills.<\/div>\n

This site too focuses on environmental science, from biodiversity to peace to preservation of languages. There\u2019s an array of tools that you can use at schools such as case studies, quizzes, learning quests as well as project ideas.
