May Day!

Well hopefully tomorrow - May 1st (auspicious by anyone's reckoning) - we'll be starting the s4s competition. I won't tempt fate by saying much for the moment.

Enjoy the unseasonal weather in the UK.

Where Are We?

So, we should now have 5 teams of 3 people who are willing to lend a hand with the project. They will participate in the Moodle version of the competition after the Easter vacation. Again, the idea is that they'll be working in their teams to collaboratively
  1. Think about what Sustainability really is
  2. Begin to model the complexities of Sustainability
  3. Develop a game based on the model
They will then write a short report about all their experiences which will be used by the judges to determine the 'winner'. The winner's game will hopefully then go out to local schools to see how it fares in the Real World. Finally, all the methods and learning materials will be documented for use by the African Virtual University in their TESSA project (many thanks to the TESSA team for allowing us to participate).

We'll let you know how things are progressing. Right now though we're all going to take a well-earned rest! :-)
