Much of the student work shown is from creative lessons designed by CRI teachers, and whether they give you fresh ideas for the end of this year or help you think about designing simulation-based lessons for next fall, we hope that you find the contents helpful and inspiring. CRI Simulations provide multiple opportunities for learning. Students prepare for their work with the simulation by practicing collaboration and becoming familiar with vocabulary and key concepts introduced in the simulations.
Students reflect on their computer experiences orally and in writing.
The teacher identifies areas where students have less understanding and reinforces the importance of problem-solving and collaborative processes. Students complete activities that connect simulation activities to classroom objectives and real-life experiences. In addition to the featured student material, be sure to visit our regular ClassNotes features, including the Trading Post and Golden Apples. Congratulations to all students whose work is featured.
