Learn about games that address core literacy and content areas.

imageGlobal Kids is leading a Games-Based Education Training for educators on Friday, Dec. 4, at its New York City headquarters. The training is open to school teachers, librarians, youth workers and other educational professionals interested in Global Kids’ innovative approach to learning using digital games. 

Participants will learn how to use online games that directly or indirectly address core literacy and content areas, and how to use free, web-based tools to support students in designing their own games. Future trainings include Creating a Safe Space: Cultural Diversity (Thursday, Dec. 10) and Incorporating Digital Media into Your Curriculum (Tuesday, Jan. 12, 2010). More information is available at Holy Meatballs, the Global Kids blog.

Since 2002, Global Kids has been a leader in the use of online games to promote global awareness, engaged citizenship and 21st-Century learning skills. For more information or to register, please call: 212-226-0130 or e-mail pdtrainings [at] globalkids.org.
