TED TALK: John Hunter on the World Peace Game

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.
