Citizen Science from Smithsonian: Shout

The Shout conference series is an excellent FREE way to engage your students. Your class can participate in live webinars to meet with experts. Here is a description from the website:

"Shout invites educators and students to take an active role in global environmental issues. Connect online to interact with experts in the field, share ideas, and collaborate with people around the world who, like you, are committed to solving environmental challenges. Shout gives participants a framework for success, with resources and tools for exercising social responsibility while building the 21st-century skills of collaboration, innovation, and critical thinking. When students are connected through technology and empowered to build activities in their own way the learning experience extends far beyond the four walls of a classroom."
