Young students can learn critical thinking and historical inquiry skills as they role-play solving undersea mysteries in this immersive, beautifully illustrated point-and-click video game created by WCER’s Field Day Lab and state partners.
Honorees include three with WCER ties: Danielle Maillette, Sadhana Puntambekar and Maria Widmer. Danielle is Events and Intranet Manager, Maria is instructional designer for Discussion Project Virtual and Sadhana is a pioneering reseacher.
How to sustain positive outcomes seen during the pandemic—such as increased connection between teachers and parents through new communication technologies and more planning time for teachers—is an important question going forward.
Epistemic Analytics partnered with ecology and data-mapping experts on and off campus to create iPlan, a simulator that makes STEM learning fun. Players can model how different zoning choices would affect the environment, jobs, housing and other factors anywhere in the contiguous U.S.
Benefits of the Adopt-a-School partnership go both ways — a new course in culturally responsive evaluation is being offered to students, while WEC is able to invest in the values it holds dear.
WCER and its projects host dozens of lectures, panel discussions and other events throughout the academic year.
