    Hi Everyone,

    I wanted to share with you a project that we just announced here in Maine. The Maine Learning Technology Initiative (MLTI) in partnership with the United Nations World Food Programme is hosting the first annual Rice Bowl athttp://www.freerice.com/ricebowl. The Rice Bowl is built upon the freerice.com online game where students (or anyone) can answer vocabulary and other questions in order to donate rice to the World Food Programme. Each correct answer donates 10 grains to WFP paid for by advertising displayed on the site. It is adaptive, so answer questions correctly, and the questions get harder!

     

    The Rice Bowl will take place during the week after the Super Bowl. There are two teams, and we invite you to join either team. The "Student" team is being sponsored by MLTI, but welcomes students and adults alike. Our opposition will be sponsored by an as-yet-to-be announced celebrity...we are hoping to make a public ann
