What is Thinking Worlds?

The authorities participating in the Thinking Worlds pilot are Aberdeenshire Council and Aberdeen City Council. The teachers involved come from Primary and Secondary schools. Learning and Teaching Scotland supplied site licences for the academic session 2007/08 and these licences allowed full installation in school as well as allowing the teachers and pupils to take the application home to install on their own computers. 

Andy McPherson from Caspian Learning explains what Thinking Worlds is and how it can impact on teaching and learning. We also see teachers from the participating authorities offering their initial impressions of the resource and how they may see it impacting on teaching and learning in their context.

Initial ideas for using Thinking Worlds in the classroom

Here we see a teacher from Aberdeenshire showcasing the game that he has made within Thinking Worlds that he could use as resource to help deliver aspects of Sex Education to an upper primary class.

This is a good example of how a teacher can create a game within an application such as this to help deliver curriculum.
