 | | ThinkQuest International Competition and Think.com Collaboration Community | | 2007-08 ThinkQuest Competition begins August 15th with Team Registration
Six teams registered from Minnesota schools last year. They are:

ThinkQuest is all about students thinking and learning together.
Students work in teams to create the best educational websites and
compete for exciting prizes, including a trip to ThinkQuest Live, an
educational extravaganza celebrating their achievements. The competition offers a
unique project-based learning experience to students and teachers
around the world. Globally relevant subjects and diverse teams are
encouraged.
The teams' websites are published for the world to see in the
ThinkQuest Library, which now contains over 5,500
educational websites. The link to the library is on the right. Next year's competition ends spring 2008.
Free Software from Adobe for ThinkQuest Teams
Adobe Corporation has generously made some of their leading software
available for anyone wanting to use it to create ThinkQuest competition
website entries. The offer includes Dreamweaver 8.0, Flash Basic 8.0,
Premiere Elements 2.0 and Photoshop Elements 4.0.
Think.com is an online community for learning. Learning is a
social phenomenon. Few students are motivated to write for an audience of one --
their teacher. By providing a wider yet protected audience, Think.com
turns students into multimedia authors for a global community and
allows peers to think and learn together. Think.com is more than a blog
. . . and safer too! Only students and teachers from member schools
can enter this password-protected learning community. Once inside,
members use websites and interactive tools to publish their ideas,
collaborate on projects, and build knowledge together. Click the
Think.com link on the right to learn more.
ThinkQuest and Think.com are sponsored by the Oracle Education Foundation.
TIES has been the Minnesota ThinkQuest Partner for since 2001.
