Here is an advanced game of comparing what is out there on the web.  These two games focus on how we are going to power the cities of tomorrow.  Each of these sites gives two different perspectives.  So check them out and report back here.

Game #1: Go to this site and play Energyville in the lower left hand corner of the page (Scroll down).  Pay attention to how you will be able to power a city.

What do you notice about the outcomes of each of these games and what do you think the point of each game is?  Why do you think they are so different?   

Here’s a quick game to play: http://www.climatechangecollege.org/elearning/games/#

If you have any questions or concerns about the blog or just want to stop by and say Hi, this is where to do it! 

What are these two sharks talking about?

We hear and see this word all the time in the media, on products, and in politics.  Green is so much more than a color now a days.  What does it mean to be part of a GREEN revolution, a GREEN Generation, to go GREEN, or to live GREEN?

Today is a very important day for this blog.  We honor Earth Day worldwide and we follow today’s elections in South Africa.  So here are a couple questions to turn our attention to these great events.

1) For Everyone:  “What did you do to commemorate Earth Day or what are you personally doing to help combat climate change?”

2) For our friends in South Africa: “What is your reaction to the outcome of today’s election and how do you think it will influence South Africa’s environmental policy?”      

We are hearing constant references to global climate change in the news and now let’s start to record what we are noticing. Over the next week and a half, find two stories in the news (radio, television or newspaper) that are about changes in our environment due to climate change. Post your reactions here.

Please include the following elements in your post:

1) The date you heard/read/saw the news story

2) The title of the story.

3) The source of the story (name of newspaper, TV station or radio station)

4) Summary of the news story in 1-3 sentences.

5) Your opinion of the story and whether you think it is an important story or not.

What is your favorite form of interactive technology? (for example: video games, cell phone, computer, etc)

If you could only have one form of technology, which one would you choose? Why?

Can you feel the effects of climate change where you live? How are things changing?
