Skype in the classroom

Skype and OneNote in the classroom

One of the great things about Skype is that you can bring other countries 
into your classroom real-time.  A group of 5 educators from South Africa, 
Canada, Singapore, China and Croatia have been working on a project about fear.  



As a class we discussed what fear meant to each of us.  We realized that fear and 
overcoming our fears was unique to each individual.  We created a shared
 Microsoft OneNote file that the students were then able to share their own fears.  
We used a guest login so that the students could type in their own personal 
feelings allowing them to keep their own anonymity.

Today we conducted our first Skype session with these countries.  
Each of the different classes from around the world had turns in discussing 
their fears and how they could overcome them.  It was really an awesome session!

One of the students commented: 
“It’s comforting to know everyone around the world has fear, 
and our fears is like different shades of the same color.”


The WOW factor is amazing!  
Bringing different countries into your class
and let children share their experiences!

New quest in the Game of Science

New quest in the Game of Science


There is a new quest in the Game of Science.
This is a really great interactive game which allows learners
to be in control of their avatar and lets them make their own decisions!

The new quest is “Brought to You by Ship” quest, 
available by clicking on the icon at the bottom right of the 
new world map.


At the helm of your ship, successfully complete the first steps 
of a delivery of goods to the GAME FOR SCIENCE islands. 
Then, develop you marine transportation company in order to 
make it the most beautiful and most efficient!

Use your logistics skills so that your cargoes make it to safe 
harbour while managing the growth, profitability and environmental 
efficiency of your company.

As the captain of your fleet, manage the purchase and storage of goods, 
fuel and crews. Your judgment and your knowledge of marine 
transportation on the St. Lawrence will be challenged in order to get 
your ship out of bad situations at sea!

Excellent!!
