Setting the Stage – Teaching in the 21st Century

Sit tight! Fasten your seat belts. It’s the 21st Century!

Have you seen the new classrooms of the 21st

century? There are no walls, no buildings, and no

geographical limitations to accessing information. You

probably already knew that, but did you know that

collaborative student projects can also transcend

those traditional barriers?

Microsoft® developed the tools.

You can facilitate the projects!
