This was a really interesting video. Basically, what is going on in the classroom is a group of older students are teaching two different groups (first graders and fifth graders) various information about oceans through several different exhibits. I really like the interaction that took place between age groups as a result of this project. Not only did the older students learn about the ocean, but they also got a chance to teach others about what they learned. Thus, it was also a learning experience for the younger students.This type of activity can also create a rich in-school community between students.
Because the video is a little bit old, there wasn't much relevant technology that might help classrooms today. However, I'm sure that there are plenty of technological aspects that could be added to a project such as this. For example, students could create a WebQuest type of lesson, a PowerPoint presentation, or show videos using the Internet.
