We're going to try to post relevant teaching talks from the TED website weekly. Today we have John Hunter on the World Peace Game. A talk that was suggested by fellow SAT & SET teacher Kurt Scheller. Please take a few minutes to watch this engaging talk and please make a comment of what you thought of this wonderful talk.
ABOUT THE TALK: John Hunter puts all the problems of the world on a 4'x5' plywood board -- and lets his 4th-graders solve them. At TED2011, he explains how his World Peace Game engages schoolkids, and why the
complex lessons it teaches -- spontaneous, and always surprising -- go further than classroom lectures can.
