Collaboration Challange

What was hard about the game? Explain in detail!
Was the game a valuable use of class time? If so, why? If not, why not?
Regardless of your answer to #2 above, if you were marketing this game to teachers, what would you claim this game is good for in the classroom? What skills do students learn from this game?

What was hard about the game was that you had to describe the parts of the ship that you had to operate.
I think that this was a valuable use of our class time because it built our 21st century skills and our collaboration.
I would recommend the game to a teacher saying that it built collaboration among the classroom students and I would say that they would learn teamwork from this.

My teacher, Mr. Solarz, was fortunate enough to travel to Dubai last week for an education conference and to meet former Top 50 Global Teacher Prize candidates for the Varkey GEMS Global Teacher Prize. He shared his unbelievable experience with us, and here are some things that I learned from our discussion:

In Mr. Solarz' discussion I learned that you shouldn't make assumptions because in the future you might offend someone or make them sad.
In Mr. Solarz' discussion I learned that people in the world are more similar than different.
Dubai is planing to make a tower that is much bigger than the burj kalifa.
I learned about GEMS schools and that they were a private school that provided education through tenological means.
They use the most expensive type of water purification. This process boils the water until it evaporates then the water trickles into a pot below.

Why did you choose the poem that you chose? Does it have a message that you wish others to learn? Is it playing with language in a fun or original way? Why this poem and not a different one?
What is it that you like about poetry? If you don't know, look through the poems that are being tweeted today to find inspiration!

I chose this poem because it was humorous, no, there is no message in this poem I want others to learn. It is playing on words when at the third stanza(a pun). This poem was special because it showed a very funny pun and I like it.
I like how they have a certain kind of rhythm in them.

What did you learn while reading this book?
How did the person change the world? / What affect did this person have on other people?
How can this inspire YOU to help others?

I learned a great deal about equality and how women and jews were treated back then.
This person changed the world by fighting for equality and women's rights.
This inspires me to treat everyone fairly and nicely .

How can I make a flashlight be the brightest it can be?:

Have a higher wattage bulb
Mirrors to reflect the light

________________________________________________

New batteries
Use in the dark
Turn it on
Take the plastic off
Use it closer to the ground

What makes a star as bright as it can be?:

Have it closer
Have it use better fuel
Have it at the red giant form
Light pollution

________________________________________________

Night
Age of star
Type of star

Stars create energy
They are the only one that create energy
The sun is an average star
Stars create energy using fusion
To use fusion they slam molecules together

I am Amir Raja, a doctor from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It would be very important to have a doctor along on the first manned mission to Mars because you would need someone to help you when you have an injury or if we encounter any foreign diseases. I am excited for this trip because it would be exciting to start a foothold for humanity, on mars.
