Where Learning Happens: Highlights from the 2010 Annual Report

Can you hear us now? The online SHOUT program encourages young people to engage in global issues, participating in their own communities and online. For example, students on six continents are measuring tree growth in their backyards and sending the results to a Smithsonian Environmental Research Center database. The dynamic electronic platform at shoutlearning.org hosts online discussions with Smithsonian experts, posts student work, and propels teachers to hone their own craft.
