Hello,
Today I stumbled on something that truly represents teaching and what education should be about. That of course is making children and young adults use critical thinking skills to examine the real world. The link below shows a great game created by a teacher named John Hunter. Mr. Hunter created a game that allowed students to examine all of the worlds issues on a simple peace of plywood. Now over time this has involved into much more. Students examine global warming, wars, famine, diplomacy and more all through this game. It is something that I think all teachers should implement into their classroom. It is deffenityly a first step at improving the world.
Thanks and let me know your opinion,
