Students begin their quest to identify 10 most vulnerable areas in the world
Teams of high school students in Halifax, Ottawa and Bermuda completed their first day of a three-day international demonstration of collaborative, problem-based learning. The Rising Seas learning experience was designed by Knowledge House Inc. especially for delegates of the 14th Conference of Commonwealth Education Ministers (14CCEM) convening in Halifax, November 26-29, 2000. At the beginning of program, student teams were invited to assume the roles of investigative journalists for a contemporary e-zine -- Planet at Risk. They were then asked to prepare an article for a well-informed, environmentally conscious audience on a topic of major global concern -- rising sea levels.
