Summary: The HundrED is a non-profit database of innovative education ideas. The innovations spread across a number of topics in an attempt to allow our ideas cross political boundaries and into classrooms around the world. Ideas in the HundrED database provide frameworks for cross-curricular, project-based lessons and units. There is also contact information for educators around the world that are open to questions about how to translate their ideas to new settings. Make this site part of your brainstorm for your next game-changing unit.

• https://hundred.org/en/innovations/trash-heroes
  • Trash Heroes
  • Partake in Trash Heroes

  • Why would you try an innovation?
    • This innovation incorporates social media and social engagement and has real world implications for my students
    • Students will get exercise. We have bikes that could be potentially used at our school to do this unit.
    • Has cross-curricular potential

    • Have students write a testimonial or create a video to show their perspective
    • Produce and share media the shows off the work the students are doing
