Our world is in the midst of incredible change - change that Georgia Tech faculty, staff, students, and partners want to teach about, learn about, and engage in, both inside and outside the classroom. SLS has started this list to compile and share the best resources coming our way. We will update it on a regular basis, as we discover new resources almost daily.
Please help us strengthen and grow this list! Fill out this form with a comment or suggestion.
Eventually, we will turn some of these resources into teaching tools. If you are interested in using some of these resources now to teach, we are happy to help you come up with a plan. Contact either one of our SLS Service Learning and Partnerships Specialists - Rebecca Watts Hull or Ruthie Yow - to set up a time to talk.
