Learning Digital Citizenship through Games

This year students at Rowntree Montessori Schools were given the opportunity to learn about online safety through various interactive games. As part of learning about Digital Citizenship, students were given the opportunity to explore different worlds through the use of a Google created game called Interland, that teaches children how to be responsible online.  Students had to complete various challenges that taught them how to recognize fake content, to build a safe password, about online etiquette and tasks designed to educate them on what is and is not appropriate to share over the internet.  According to Matt Brian of Engaget, “Interland is a puzzler that takes kids through four mini games. Tower of Treasure is designed to help teach younger internet users how to create strong passwords that keep them one step ahead of hackers and Reality River presents 10 multiple choice questions that help identify who and what to trust online. Kind Kingdom educates children on trolling and being nice on the internet, while Mindful Mountain highlights how important it is to share information only with people you trust.” For more information about Interland, click here to read an article by Matt Brian from Engadget.

Creative & Innovative Classrooms

The classroom is a space where minds are nurtured and nourished. Devising creative and innovative ways to teach concepts and consolidate knowledge is one of the primary goals of a teacher. In light of this fact, fun and games can come into play to accomplish a set goal. Games help children to think strategically, solve problems creatively and develop social skills which require them to follow rules, and await their turn.

Education in the early part of the 20th century tended to focus on the acquisition of basic skills and content knowledge, like reading, writing, calculation, history or science. Many experts believe that success in the 21st century depends on education that treats higher order skills, like the ability to think, solve complex problems or interact critically through language and media.

In our quest for developing well-rounded learners we strive to apply innovative ideas to solidify skills and ignite a creative edge in our students. Last year our Grade 6 students developed their very own original games to play with the students of Grades 1 and 2. It was rewarding to watch the students of different ages and grade levels interact with each other and cooperate with ease, following rules and taking turns to solve word problems in Math. The younger students showed no fear of failing when the answer was incorrect. The older students who lead the activity displayed patience and dedication in their efforts to help their younger peers to succeed.

Incorporating creative games into everyday learning strengthens students’ focus and keeps them consistently involved in the learning process. Seeking innovative ways that will spark a passion for learning is an ongoing goal that Rowntree Montessori Schools is proudly committed to accomplishing.

We look forward to seeing you and sharing with you the private school community of which we are so proud!
