Instructional Resource....Final Project Idea....Connect with a Cause
Can your student use the skills and information they’ve acquired to benefit others?
It could be …
- People in your community
- Students at your school
- People in need around the world
- Those seeking information on the Internet
Some internet searching — or discussions with students and others — can reveal a cause. A video call with a representative of the cause or organization could shed new light for students and motivate them. You can use the Microsoft Educator Network database to find a free virtual guest speaker.
Doing something in service of others can get higher motivation and better results.
Suggested tool: Skype, Google Hangouts, Zoom, FaceTime
