World Education Games

Ms.Dong from G3 (Pudong Campus) found a very interesting website:www.worldeducationgames.com. Here is a brief introduction about this website.

The World Education Games is an annual global online challenge to get all students (4-18 years of age) excited about learning, and to give the top students in all schools an opportunity to see how they measure up against the best in the world. It is now the world’s largest education event with literally millions of students taking part from almost every country on the planet. Last year, over 5 million students were a part of what is now the world’s largest online education event.

Split over three days and focusing on literacy, mathematics and science, the World Education Games is a hugely exciting and engaging way to promote learning and education across the world. Their partners UNICEF and Samsung work with them to promote their key messages of education for all.

The 2013 Games span all three core learning strands; each one challenging and designed to inspire students to engage with education.

Once registered, students have access to their own personal online World Education Games portal from which they can participate in all 3 events from school and home.

When a student enters a challenge, they are matched in real time with up to 3 other students of similar age and ability from anywhere in the world in exciting live challenges. Students earn points for correct answers, with their personal tally growing as they complete the challenges.

On World Maths and Literacy Days, students progress through 5 levels of difficulty and earn 1 point for every correct answer. Each game lasts for 1 minute.

World Science Day is slightly different – with 3 levels of difficulty within each challenge. The easier knowledge questions are worth 1 point, and the harder application and reasoning questions worth 2 and 3 points. The questions take a unique and fun approach to science, designed to foster curiosity and excitement. Each game lasts 1 to 3 minutes depending on the number of participants in a challenge.

Wish all the students good luck in this game.
