Join us at an Ideas in Motion Forum where we'll be showcasing three ideas from PasstheBall.com. You can register now to attend.
The session will be hosted by Fred Mednick, founder of Teachers Without Borders. The goal of the session is to have a discussion that can help these ideas get better and then vote for a winner. The winner will get a free year of WebEx to help develop their idea and bring it to life!
The ideas we'll be discussing:
The Link Letter
One way to pass the ball would be to help our students begin to send a
kind of “link letter”. That’s what I call a short written message from
one student to another student who is not in his geographical area. The
message would express hope, humor, or encouragement. It could include
an idea or custom or animal or flower that is unique to the writer’s
area...<see idea>
Students Rate their Teachers
Students
should be allowed to evaluate their teachers. Then taking the
evaluations into consideration, the school board should then have
unannounced evaluations for those teachers. This allows for the school
board to evaluate a teacher in his or her daily environment...<see idea>
Speech Therapy & Sign Language for Special Needs Children Abroad
Often special needs children are last in line to receive any education
or assistance in developing countries. Using WebEx you can give speech
therapy or any face to face therapy remotely and even teach their
countries sign language as well. We can reach more children in need <see idea>
