To go tech or not to go tech? In a world being taken over by technology that morphs by the minute, the question many modern classrooms face is not if, but how to use technology in the classroom. In this article Shahrezad Samiuddin explores the benefits and challenges of adding technology to the educational mix.
Dear Friends,
TRC has been collaborating with LEAF over the last 12 years to share information about their annual Earth Watching Eco-Panel exhibitions. In the past, as some of you may remember we have collected exhibits at TRC and forwarded them to Nishinomiya, Japan.
This year, once again we are sharing the information directly with you. We hope you will participate. We have one request … do let us know if you are participating and give us some information about the entries you are sending.
Information about the 20th Earth Watching Club Eco-Panel Exhibition to be held from February 27 – March 03, 2013 and the application form are given below. The deadline for submission is December 28th 2012.
All the best,
The TRC Team
