If You Could Change the World
I found this today and would really like some feedback as to whether you think it could be a useful project for us to work on during this term. It wouldn’t have to be a huge time commitment as we do have to spend most of our time on our inquiry unit. Let me know if you are interested in doing something on this.
This site has been set up by Iain, an ICT cluster facilitator from Dunedin.
It occurred to me that it would could be a powerful thing if children from around the world could voice their concerns, and brainstorm possible solutions to some of the issues that face our blue and green marble in space…before it turns into a brown marble in space!
So, I set up a social network at ning.com, ‘If I could change the world‘, with the idea that this could be a place where children could raise their voices. At the moment I have three main issues that can be tackled. But if this takes off, who knows what might happen?
1)Poverty
2)Pollution
2)ViolenceI have started the project with three ways you can contribute.
1) Artwork: Get kids creating artwork that offer solutions or ideas about global or local issues
2) Blogging: Write posts about these issues
3) Video: Create a 1 minute videoSo this is my little attempt at starting something to help change the world for better, but it will be YOU who help make it come true, so please, come join the site and contribute, and spread the word!
