LWICT at GSC

I passed on an interesting link to Bec last week (http://www.mcvideogame.com/) that I thought she might use with her Year 10 S&E class. Bec has taken the idea and developed it. She is using the game as a stimulus to explore the various aspects of business. Students initially play the game on the IWB to discover and solve the problems as a group. From there they continue to play the game to investigate the intricacies of the business ecosystem. They will be expressing their discoveries in the form of a a poster presentation.

The IWB session went well. Some students (especially boys) were very into using the IWB. Most students engaged in trying to determine the best system to create profit for the business.  I have some concerns that some students may have felt bad because they didn’t get a chance.  I may set up the eBeam in the computer lab so some students can experiment that way as well as using the lab computers.
