Short Description: economics-games.com allows students to run simulations and make decisions as a market participant. A student may elect to play a solo game or a multi-player game, selecting from a variety of economic topics such as fixed costs, monopoly, competition, and prisoner's dilemma (to name only a few). Depending on the game, students are initially presented with certain data/information and must submit decisions based on what is provided. Once the student (or each player) makes a decision, the student is directed to a results page which can then be discussed with the teacher and/or as a class. Example of Uses: As an aspiring high school Social Studies teacher with a background in Economics, this seems like a great tool to use to supplement the introduction of economic/business terms and concepts. In the classroom, students can learn definitions and principles (i.e., the "Who", "What", "Where", "When"); in the simulations/games, students experience and demonstrate the practical application of such terms to understand the "How" and "Why". In this context, critical thinking skills are used to assess the information provided and arrive at a well-reasoned decision. Such skills are further developed as the students and teacher engage in a discussion about the rationale and impact of the choices of the student(s), without, of course, the pressure of real world economic consequences. With an often dry topic as Economics, this tech tool also seems like an effective way to keep a class interested and engaged with material. Perhaps bonus points could be offered to students who yield good results in their simulation and can support their decision-making with strong arguments. The obvious limitation is that this particular tech tool is designed for one subject. However, similar simulations and educational role-playing games exist for other content areas. In any case, the simulation or game should present information to the s

Teacher resource Digital Citizenship Games Collaboration

rvonella on 29 Oct 16

Digital Passport is a great way to teach digital citizenship in 3rd through 6th-grade classrooms. It provides a foundation for appropriate and safe online behavior by offering fun and interactive lessons and meets Common Core and ISTE Nets Standards. Students can engage in videos, games, and quizzes about cyber-bullying, respect, digital literacy, and many other topics to promote digital citizenship. The site offers educator materials that can be utilized by simply registering for a login and password. Both students and teachers can access Digital Passport on computers, tablets, or phones in school and at home. The application can be accessed directly through the website or downloaded. One way to implement this tool in lessons is to allow students to have the opportunity to work on Chrome books or in a lab. Students can be assigned quizzes through the teacher dashboard. Once students get through the lessons, they earn badges and a "Certificate of Achievement," which allows for positive reinforcement. Teachers can monitor student progress during the activity and print reports to share with each student, their parents, and administrators. During lessons, students can be assigned to work individually on a device or as a class on a smart board, which allows for an exciting and innovative way to learn about digital citizenship.

Lauren MacDonald Tool Name: TodaysMeet https://todaysmeet.com Short Description: TodaysMeet is a backchannel virtual classroom tool used for communication and collaboration between students that occurs during a lesson, when students are at home, or even with students from other schools. TodaysMeet allows for the elimination of off topic comments and helps keep the classroom as a whole focused. Also, this tool allows for all students' voices to be heard and opens the conversation up for everyone to effectively collaborate. What is extremely helpful for students is that they can print out the conversations on TodaysMeet or re-enter the classroom while at home to refer to notes, instructions, or help on homework. Examples of Uses: Students can access the virtual classroom on TodaysMeet anywhere and continue the conversation with classmates and teachers even after the lesson has ended. This is extremely helpful for teachers when they come across more challenging concepts or units in the curriculum because students can use each other to bounce ideas and questions off of rather than the teacher taking a whole class period to answer multiple questions from confused students.
