Do you love learning about different countries? Can you name all sorts of flags, capital cities, rivers and mountains? In this 40 minute trivia challenge, students will have the chance to put their GEOGRAPHY knowledge to the ultimate test! In the Trivia Masters Series, each quiz is based on one topic and includes medium to difficult questions in the topic area. By learning in this entertaining and interactive way, even the most knowledgable learner will surely come away with some fun new facts and knowledge to share. The game will be played on Kahoot, which works best if you have a second device with you (a phone or tablet is perfect). If you can't get a second device, one device will work if you toggle back and forth in two windows or use split screen

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello Everyone,
My name is Matt and I am have been teaching middle and high school STEM classes for 15 years in Ontario, Canada. In 2009, I was also lucky enough to have the opportunity to teach Science classes at an international school in Kuwait for two years.
My educational background is in Zoology and Evolutionary Biology (B.Sc) where I focused intensively on herpetology (the study of reptiles and amphibians). I have worked at several zoos over the years (in the education and conservation departments) often planning public outreach educational programming related to reptiles and other animals.
I also have a Master's of Education in Global Leadership and I am passionate about teaching science and connecting the concepts we learn to real-life. The PD that I have focused on over the last 5 years has included high level project based learning concepts which I used in my classes extensively.
I currently teach middle school science and AP level Biology at an independent school outside of Toronto, Canada. My educational philosophy is rooted in hands-on and experiential education. I always ensure that my classes have a large experiential component to them and students are actively involved in the class. I am a huge supporter of problem solving in the classroom and very often use the design thinking process to facilitate learning, no matter what topic we are studying.
Over the course of my teaching career, I have been awarded the "Innovation in Pedagogy" Award from the BHNCDSB as well as the Teaching Travel Grant Award (which I used to study Permaculture in Argentina).
I hope to see you in class soon!
Matt
