Wow! Edutopia is one of the most interesting ways of actual teaching I have seen. I have heard plenty of proposals on how one could or should teacher, but never actually seen it. The Edible School Yard was a very practical way for students to incorporate the things they were learning in the classroom into actual hands on projects. Actually getting to see your knowledge in action and the fruit it produces increase an interest in children to learn and think outside of the box.
A Night in the Global Village was interesting as well. The students seem to take away tangible, life changing information from this field trip. They get first hand experience at living life from a totally different perspective. They learn what it means to work together to survive, how to appreciate the things they have, and how they can help in their community, as well as their world.
