It was at this point that I learned about all of the amazing resources that are available on the Ciena Solutions Challenge website after introducing the Global Goals and several design activities - blog post. Under Teacher Resources on the Ciena Solutions Challenge website, there is a wealth of resources in English, Spanish, and French. I found the resources easy to access and they gave me the opportunity to differentiate for different projects that designers felt best met their problem while still using the same format for all of my designers.

My Teaching Resources
In Week 2 of our Designing Games Unit, designers started to dive deeper into the focus themes through the website resources as well as several Edpuzzle playlists that I created for them to build more understanding around the different themes.

As the new semester starts, I love starting the first unit with games. This semester also brings some new resources through Games For Change.
This week we focused on playing games and identifying the components of a game. I have been finding a lot of ways to enhance my previous unit with the resources from Games For Change. Check out the teacher resources - Link My First Week of InstructionIn Week 3 of our Global Goals Design Unit, designers were challenged with different design scenarios to help build an understanding of some of the different Global Goals as well as different actions that could be taken to respond to the goals. My lessons were based off of Little Inventors STEM challenges - Link to Resource. I really appreciated these resources because of the embedded videos as well as focused challenges.
