Oracle inspire students globally to think, connect, create and share -- using technology to help them dissolve boundaries, fulfill their potential, and create a better society.
Description:
The ThinkQuest Competition engages students to solve a problem using their technology, critical thinking, and communication skills. Developed and hosted by the Oracle Education Foundation, ThinkQuest is a protected online environment that enables teachers to design and carry out learning projects within their classrooms or in collaboration with ThinkQuest’s global community.
In project learning, students discover the meaning of what they learn by working together to solve complex, real-world problems, rather than being taught facts from books. A growing body of evidence indicates that project learning supports the development of critical skills students must have to meet the demands of the 21st century. In response, the Oracle Education Foundation has developed an online learning platform called ThinkQuest to extend the benefits of project learning to classrooms globally. This paper draws on a broad international research base and case studies of actual classroom projects supported by ThinkQuest to illustrate both the theory and practice of 21st century teaching and learning.
