=Welcome to the Malden Public Schools Summer 2010 Technology Project!=

The Malden Public Schools Technology Project will be an academically and technologically rich opportunity for students to enhance their learning and technology skills. During this 4-week project we will be experimenting with new technological resources to access social studies and science content related to the theme of the relationship between the government and its people. The goals of the project include increased student colloaboration and development of student critical thinking, problem solving and communication skills. These goals will be accomplished through the use of inquiry-based learning and community-service learning projects.
