Planning ahead: UW game teaches kids, mixes virtual, real worlds
The students work for a fictitious firm called Urban Design Associates, are assigned the title of planner, carry business cards and do field research in actual neighborhoods, armed with digital cameras and notebooks, under the guidance of graduate students in the educational psychology department. As part of the game, the grad students are known as planning consultants.
I like the real world and technology interaction for education. I believe getting kids involved with real world problems is a good way to get them interested in learning.
