ThinkQuest
is one of the biggest online learning platform which provide a fabulous
platform to more than a millions of student of 30416 schools from different
part of world. ThinkQuest helps students develop important 21st century skills,
including communication, critical thinking, and technology skills. It was transitioning
from 30 June onwards.
The sudden announcement of transitioning was very
shocking not only for it’s user but for the digital world also.
ThinkQuest was created in 1996 by Allan H. Weis
under his nonprofit Advanced Network and Services. The
service was acquired by the Oracle Education Foundation in 2002,
which has operated many different the competition until 2012.Eventully ThinkQuest
is going to be closed after June 2013
As per oracle education foundation ThinkQuest is
being closed because when oracle first released think.com [predecessor of ThinkQuest],
few technologies solution were available to educators. But now scenario has
been changed .In fact, many free technologies are now being available to
educators worldwide. And therefore oracle education foundation found it the
right time to sunset ThinkQuest.
ThinkQuest library of more than 1,07,943 projects
which set it apart from any other online learning platform. It let the students to
move beyond the walls of their classroom and explore the culture of different
parts of the world. It has completely changed the way to teach and learn.
ThinkQuest
users can download their projects from ThinkQuest before 30 June using ThinkQuest
online

members of his wonderful community to visit the “ThinkQuest
Farewell Scapbook” project and share how ThinkQuest has touched their life.
In the
last Trough this blog I
would like to wish everyone who has been associated with ThinkQuest,...
