0 Comments

 
The ECAD 3.0 Curriculum provides us with a new version of Build a Town to use in our classrooms. This video quickly reviews both the new game pieces and first-stage debate mechanic, as well as a look at the map and how it might best me used.

Work Menus allow you to help students choose the work they feel appropriate. Whether it is something easier for students just starting out, or going straight for the challenges, this visual organizer does what it claims. In this video, we review a two-factor work menu, one factor a scale for difficulty, and the other factor being a range of categories in which proficiency must be demonstrated.
