Educational Activism: Content-Driven Collaboration
Educational ActivismThe Media is My Message
• The World is Flat 3.0 (connectedness & globalization)
• Wisdom of Crowds (many vs. few; finding the right crowd)
• Waiting for Superman (there’s an app for that)
• Race to Nowhere (achievement at what cost?)
• Train Your Mind, Change Your Brain (neuroplasticity)
• The Singularity is Near (non-biological intelligence)

Educational ActivismCompelling Reasons
1. Economics and age demographics
2. Global connectedness (health,
environment, economic, security)
3. Information pollution (too much,
unfiltered)
4. Workforce development (critical skills)
5. Collaborating our future (possible,
preferable, preventable)

In a world full of problems, our destiny will be
determined by Solvers - the people who see a
problem as an opportunity to do something great.
Solvers have the power to change reality rather than
simply accept it as is. By participating in future-
thinking projects, our students learn key problem-
solving skills which empower them to become active
agents of change who shape the future.

Our students made a wiki to share both locally and globally the projects they worked on to help protect the watershed. Projects included reducing trash, recycling shoes and encouraging local consumers to choose reusable shopping bags. This movie was made by a group of students who wanted to educate the community about how to reduce carbon emissions:

To help us continue our work we invite you to
visit our wiki and share with us your thoughts
or comments and information about the
watershed where you live. This will help our
students to evaluate the work they did and
make important connections to the world
around them.
