Heres' a snap shot of my 5 day run in Shopping Street:
Transcription of audio recording in Voice Thread:
Every math teacher does a project
that revolves around running a business, or buying stocks etc. Simulations like
Shopping Street provide an actual environment for students to learn what can
happen if you don’t operate the business correctly. These types of games can
also be used to help show students both children and adults the value of money,
because if you visit my blog you will see that I lost money so I don’t think I
would be good at running business just yet.
One game that stood out for me was Oiligarchy
which I think can be used to teach learners about environmental issues, political
corruption, and disrupting the average person. So, basically a teacher can find
a Real-time strategy game for just about any academic learning standard.
Here are some other games that can
be used are:
National Standard: ISTE NETs
Teachers
Grade: Professional
Subject: Technology
Sub-Focus: None
Standard: ISTE 1: Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and
Creativity
Details: Teachers use their knowledge of subject matter, teaching and
learning, and technology to facilitate experiences that advance student
learning, creativity, and innovation in both face-to-face and virtual
environments. Teachers: a. promote, support, and model creative and innovative
thinking and inventiveness. b. engage students in exploring real-world issues
and solving authentic problems using digital tools and resources. c. promote student
reflection using collaborative tools to reveal and clarify students' conceptual
understanding and thinking, planning, and creative processes. d. model
collaborative knowledge construction by engaging in learning with students,
colleagues, and others in face-to-face and virtual environments.
