This week the students at my school took part in a
competitive simulation in which students used technology and collaboration to
find solutions to real world problems. A
colleague and I have worked for over a year on developing a “game” for every
student in our middle school (353) to “play.”
The idea of the game was to have students learn about other countries
and current issues involving different regions of the world. Our students took on the task with a lot of
enthusiasm and determination. The
students had to use their laptops to research characteristics of countries,
perform group challenges and then create and present a formal presentation to
the “World Council” (Model UN students
in our High school). Although we were
interrupted by some snow days, the students did incredible. If you have a few minutes, please take a look
at the video that the school had made from the experience.
