Click here for a summary of our recent student-designed Grade 10 (MYP5) Environmental Sciences unit that we planned for students to design and implement. I used this project as my trial for Hapara, a GoogleDocs dashboard system.

In summary, using this as a management tool allowed for a smooth and highly differentiated, student-led inquiry unit in MYP 5 Environmental Science. Find out more.

    Here’s a detailed summary of a 7-week student-led inquiry project, facilitated through Hapara and GoogleDocs. I really enjoyed the level of inquiry and the quality of writing it led to.
