RESULTSStudents Will:

• learn real world skills like money management.

• find their areas of greatest strength and ability.

• get to experience historical decision-making, rather than just read about it.

• You and your students choose any app, program or platform, rather than have it decided for you!

• You can incorporate Evernote, Google Docs, Excel or your favorite platform. Play the game and have your students decide which app will help with each activity!

• Have your students use social networks to build friendships, alliances and generate team spirit!

DECISION MAKING FROM THE GROUND UP

• It’s the 21st Century. Why have pre-determined programs when your students should be figuring out how to find and use these tools for themselves. It's project based learning. Have your students build systems from the bottom up.

TESTIMONIALS

“I'm going to be a history teacher, and when the time comes, I'm going to want to use The Global Challenge in my classroom.  I figured I owe you a debt of gratitude for helping me see where I was supposed to go in life.”

Thanks,

Joe Jacklin

“Mr. Chazen has organized and implemented a world history game that he created to help stimulate student interest, learning, and participation in the study of world history and world government. This active learning game greatly increased student understanding, interest, retention, and participation in their study of world history.”

– Mr. Ross Gregory, former Principal of Galena High School

“Lee, I think the project is amazing! I like the way it is set up so that the students are the ones writing and answering the questions. Students will learn more if they are the ones doing the research and fact checking. I especially like the “game” like atmosphere, with students making alliances and treaties. I don’t think you can simulate anything more real world. I am going to “tweak” it a little and try it “ancient civilization style” with my 6th graders. Thanks for allowing me a chance to read through it and experiment with it.”

-- Kim Lander, Kansas City
