Get Grounded

It's a big ol' world out there - let's talk about this class.  :)

What will be taught?
Cooperation, teamwork, communication!  The catch is, that we'll never actively talk about any of these things - we'll learn by doing, by experiencing, and by seeing how effective we can be as a team when we're utilizing each skill as a team.  (This is, in my experience, is the single most effective way to teach these life long skills in a meaningful and impactful way.)

How is your class structured?
Because of the playful and engaging nature of the Grounded Sim, the class allows learners to explore, be creative, and interact with their friends in a guided environment.  In other words, while learners are engrossed in a fun environment where they can relax with friends, we'll return again and again to practical applications of skills that they need to master in every day life.  (Learners learn... without realizing that they're applying and implementing the very skills that we all rely upon in daily life.)

How much will learners get to interact?
Because of the team nature of the Grounded Sim, learners essentially interact from minute one and continue throughout class.  Often learners will wish to continue building and planning between classes so that when they return, they're able to hit the ground running.
