  2. 1. I get to email more, and I love emailing. I love to learn about what there doing. They have something called ort day,, where they try to eat everything in their lunch for less waste.
    2. We got to learn about leaf. And dthrow cans. Imovie was fun.

    4. Kids can teach adults because we have a different point of view. We also read diffent books from adults. And we know some things they don't.

  3. The best thing about having pen pals is they can tell you what is happening where they live. Pen pals are really cool they can tell you anything. Pen pals are really cool.

    I think it was good because it tells people to help the enviornment. I liked making the video because they were really fun. Doing it with my group we did really good.

    I don't play video games. I really don't know how it would teach someone about climate change. I really do not know.

    Yes kids can teach adults because adults can learn new things every day with or without a kid teaching them. I go home a tell my parents what I learned at school and all and they learn things from me.

  4. 1.) It's like having 2 different viewpoints from different places. Having a penpal gives you a different view on things. You can also write about almost anything to say.
    2.) I liked making a slogan. When we made a slogan, it was fun. It was a creative, catchy line to say.
    3.)I don't REALLY play video games. But when i do I think you can learn from them. You could base the video game on climate change, depending what you're going for.
    4.)Of COURSE kids can teach adults. Thats the simple answer. we're all human and adults aren't perfect. Neither are kids, but kids get in trouble more for it.

  5. 1. They are helpful. They re enthusiastic. They are awesome.

    2. It was fun. It was really helpful. We got to talk to eachother.

    3. Yes you do learn. You can read messages. They are entertaining.

    4. Yes we can. Adults are from back then. (Not to be rude) We have a different teaching program.

  6. 1. I think the good thing about having pen pals is just getting to know them. When they are working on the same project as you it is good because they teach you things.

    2. I like creating the climate change PSA because it taught you a lot about climate change. It also tuaght you about things like dont waste energy and to work togethter with a team.

    3. I dont like to play video games but if i did, i would learn not to waste energy on the PS 4. Because if you are playing on it and you go and watch TV in your bedroom and the viseo game is in the family room, you have to turn it off instead of wasting ebergy.

    Kids can teach adults about childhood and new things that they have learned in school that they have not. They could also teach them different facts like gross germs and stiff.

  7. 1. The best thing about having a pen pal that is also working on climate change, is that you can talk to your pen p-la, and you can share what your learning with them, and they can you, and then you can learn more.
    2. What I liked best, about making a PSA video, was acting and hanging out with my group, and having fun and making friends.
    3. Well, if a video game has lots of facts, and can teach the player well, and not just facts that no one looks at, yes, I think that video games can teach very well.
    4. Yes, teachers can teach adults, because adults don't know everything, so it is really easy for kids to teach adults.

  8. I think that the best thing about having the a pen pal is that i have some one that i know in a different area. They could be all over the world. they are always there to talk.

    I think that the best thing is that i get to learn about the project. I got to learn a lot about it. I think that was the best think about making the PSA.

    I do not learn a lot from video games. I think that i play to have fun not to learn. I do not think that a video game can teach someone about climate change.

    I do think that kids can teach adults. i think that it would be good if kids teach adults. I think that if they gust talk to them then they would teach them.

  9. The best thing about having pen pals also working on the project with us is that we can talk to people outside of our school about the same project that we are working on.

    The thing I liked most about making the PSA announcements was working on a team to help the environment.

    I can learn pretty well from a video game because I have to make choices that could be real to beat the game.

    Kids can teach adults. If an adult knows less about video games the kid can tell him how to play.

  10. 1. You get to interact with people all around the world. Thats not something you get to do everyday. It really makes having a penpal exiting.

    2. It was fun making a video. Not just any video. It's a video that is reasonably important.

    3. I do not play video games much. But when I do, I think it increases my cognitive function. I'm not sure if you call that learning but I do.

    4. Kids can teach adults. Pretty much anything. Like when an adult ask where the bathroom is.

  11. The best thing about Pen pals that we can commutate around the world. We can talk about are life and how it is same.

    It was kind of hard to make the PSA because we all wanted different things and it was hard because we all wanted the main part.

    I learned that games can help before I started to make a game I learned that it was really hard.

    Kids can teach adults because we learn different topics

  12. 1. I really like having pen pals from across the country! The best thing about having pen pals is that we get ideas from each other. We also can tell each other about the projects we're doing.

    2. It helps us learn more things about climate change because when you actually get to do it you learn better. If you are showing each other you PSA's you naturally have to do good. Also if you are in cpomatition you are probably going to work harder.

    3. I really don't play viedo games. If I did then I wouldn't think it would teach soneone about climate change. I think that because video games are just about playing and kids wouldn't want to learn.

    4. I do think kids can teach adults. Kids sometimes know things about devices that adults don't know. Also they know more about things like games and stuff like that.

    1.)
    Having pen pals on the other side of the country is awesome! It gives us a new viewpoint on a subject. And it improves our 21st century communication skills.

    2.)
    This gives one a new perspective. Broadcasting yourself makes you work harder. Making the videos is my favorite.

    3.)
    I do not learn from video games. But, if the video age was like a video quiz then in would be fun. Fun things get you involved.

    4.)
    Kids can teach adults. People learn new things everyday. Nowadays people have better modern learning so if a kid learns a new skill for solving a question or problem then they can teach the adult. Sometimes I tell my parents new riddles.

    ReplyDelete
  14. 1) That we have sonething in common! We can talk and talk about the same thing and they can understand.

    2) That we can get along better. They will be impressed in us.

    3) I do, and it can be installed through the game in the brain.

    4) I think only adults can teach kids, for teaching takes skills.

  15. I think that the best thing about having the a pen pal is that i have some one that i know in a different area. They could be all over the world. they are always there to talk.

    I think that the best thing is that i get to learn about the project. I got to learn a lot about it. I think that was the best think about making the PSA.

    I do not learn a lot from video games. I think that i play to have fun not to learn. I do not think that a video game can teach someone about climate change.

    I do think that kids can teach adults. i think that it would be good if kids teach adults. I think that if they gust talk to them then they would teach them.

  16. 1. The best thing about it is being able to collaborate across the country. I am meeting new people and making new friends. It is really fun.

    2. The Best thing about it is the bloopers. My group had a lot of funny bloopers. But it is great being able to teach someone.

    3. I do learn well from playing video games. You can learn by subliminal messaging. Or putting it in there without them knowing.


    4. Yes, kids can teach adults and they can teach them the same way as teaching a kid. It would be easier since they have a longer attention span than others. Although it might be harder to teach adults who won't listen to kids or say " your just a kid ". It depends who it is.

  19. Ethan weiss,

    1.You can talk about it with them. They Are helping with the climate change project. They may say something about climate change that you dont know yet so you can learn a litttle from them.

    2. That we got to film. We got to make up a script so we could make up the story for climate change. It helped communication skills.

    3. I sometimes learn from a videogame it all would depend on the genre. by looking at what climate change could do visualy. By putting in information so they can read it inside a game.

    4. Yes because a kid could teach a parent something. if there was something about computers. We could teach them about coding if they didnt know.

    1. I think that the best thing about having pen pals that are also working on climate change is that you have more work power so you can do more things. Also, you can figure out if you have similarities or differences. You get to actually know someone without even meeting them.
    2. I think that my favorite thing about making the PSA's is learning that you have to take many takes and be patient. I like this because it gives me a life lesson. I also like coming up with a idea.
    3. I can sometimes learn well from a video game if it is a educational one. Yes, a video game would be able to teach a person about climate change. You could do it my making a clean community with carpooling and riding bikes and walking.
    4. Yes, kids can teach adults. You can learn something new everyday, as the saying goes. I could teach my mom or dad about a math concept that may not have been in their curriculum when they were my age.

  21. 1) You get to learn about what other people are doing to stop climate change that you don't know and that aren't technically your friends that you hang out with a lot.

    2) You get to teach other people preferably the public about how climate change affects the globe.

    3) Video help kids learn how to deal with things on there own and if they a pre educational they can help kids learn. It could be based on climate change and help kids learn about how climate change and global warming is bad and that it is not good for the environment.

    4) Yes, kids can teach adults. Kids can show adults how to be more sustainable without changing to much of there every day routine.

  22. 1. You have at least 1 thing in common. because if you don't you will become distant and you will treat each other as robots replying to emails. You also can talk about it.
    2. I liked not being in the classroom. You get to talk in the hallways instead of dead silent with no words. I also like other people talking instead of not talking.

    3. I learned that all education video games are not as fun as regular ones. I also learned that because of that education video games usually fail and have 10 plays. I learned that education video games spend 10 minutes to teach a 5 second statement like "recycle your cans".

    4. yes, even if you say the board is 5 feet long its still teaching. (though its a very unusful skill to learn.) also if you adults don't know everything so you can teach them.

    ReplyDelete
  23. 1 because you can talk about what you are doing with each other and have discussions about what we think of something. we can also help each other.
    2.That we get to work with our friends and make a funny awesome and creative psa i loved that project i thought i thought i had a good psa.
    3.I think you can because lots of kids play video games and they really pay attention to it so i think its i real good idea i made one actually.
    4.Yes i think that some adults don't know how to use some high tech things 21 century kids know. there are lots of thing kids can teach adults!

  24. The best is that when we email them we can ask and tell them what we are doing and they will understand. It is also cool because we can get ideas off them.

    I like that we got to work in groups. I think that teamwork is a really good thing. Another part that I liked is that we got to video and see each other's.

    I learn from games. But I don't learn about things you would learn about in a school. The only way to learn about climate change is to make a game about it.
    Yes kid can teach adults. Some adults can't read like maybe people from a poor country. Kids can teach them like kids from America or China.

  25. 1.) The best thing about having pen-pals that are working on the climate change is that you get lots of information. You get lots of information because you hear from other kids in another place on what they know. Maybe they know different things because they get different weather. Also, you can share information you know to other people.

    2.) What I liked best about the PSA videos was that there was good information in them. Also, there is some humor that makes you remember what you learned. Last of all, it was easy and fun to make the videos because everybody was on task.

    3.) I do learn well from video games because of the information and graphics. A video game can teach a person well because you may like to play video games a lot (not me), and you learn from it. Also, since you read what it says on the video game, it makes you remember what you learned.

    4.) Kids can teach adults. That is because the student may have learned something different than the adults did. It all depends on what the kid has been taught, and the adult has been taught.

  26. 1. We can tell them what we are doing in climate change so they can stretch that throw the US so everyone's helping us with climate change

    Why it is good is you do not have to espalin and much to the what you project is because they are doing something like it.


    The thing I like mose about the PSA is you did not have any jid lines.


    No because it is not to much fun and not learning.


    Ifg you have to figer out what it is and not that much fun but it is fun



    Yes because you do not know all the stuff in the world but you can learn from any age

  28. Q:What's the best thing about having pen pals who are also working on climate change projects?

    A:The best part about it is that you can see what they are doing at their school. I also enjoy getting to know them. I also like the thought of still being pen pals in the future.


    Q:What did you like best about creating a PSA relating to climate change?

    A: The best was getting to be creative when filming. I enjoyed acting. The best part is usually when you get to see yourself because it can be funny or serious.


    Q: Do you learn well from playing video games? How can a video game teach someone about climate change?

    A: I learn really well with video games. A video game uses fun elements to teach you a concept that would be boring just reading it out of a text book. I prefer learning from video games from just boring old textbooks.


    Q: Can kids teach adults? If so, how?

    A: Yes, kids can teach adults. There are many things kids teach adults. It just depends on what the adult doesn't know.

  29. 1) The best thing is probably that you can communicate with other people that are doing the same project. When you think about that your working on a project with other people far away it's really cool. It's kind of an honor because not a lot of people get to do this.
    2) I liked making the video because I just really enjoy acting in the video. I just think it's really fun and easy. I also like how you could upload it to iMovie and make really cool edits.
    3) I do learn from video games especially Assasings Creed 3™ because it taught me about some wars in the past. I don't know how a game can teach climate change unless the game is extremely boring.
    4) Teachers can learn from kids just not a lot. I have only taught a teacher just 2 or 3 times. I don't think it's often when kids teach teachers because teachers should teach kids.

  30. In my opinion, the best thing about it is that we can talk about it and they know what we're talking about. I like my pen pal because she seems nice so it is nice talking to her about climate change. That is the best thing about it to me.

    It was fun creating the PSA. I like to act so in the PSA, I felt good. In the first draft or two, it was a bit rough. As we kept filming, it got easier to work and complete the PSA.

    It depends on the video game that I'm playing. If it's Mario Cart, then no. If it's a educational game, then maybe. A video game might teach someone if it's fun and can teach you at the same time.

    Yes, if the adult doesn't know about a newer system or math tactic, then the kid might be able to teach an adult that didn't know. They might not be able to teach an adult some things though.

  31. 1) the best thing about having pen pals that are also working on climate changes projects is that you can ask each other questions and help each other out.

    2) what I liked best about creating relating to climate change is that it is a fun way of learning

    3) I learn well by playing with video games. It can teach someone else because it can help them when they are older.

    4) kids can teach adults because sometimes kids learn things different and other things that adults don't.

  32. Question 1
    I think that the best thing about having pen pals who also work on climate change is that we can share questions and answers with eachother to learn more. Another good thing about the penpals are that they may know more about the climate change then we do at teach us. Something else thats great is the teamwork that we can both supplie to the work and get it done

    Question 2
    I liked the fact that we are changing the world by making a video about saving the world. It is also cool that we are changing the way people look at climate change. And i like how people dont even know what we are doing and i camt wait for them to find out.

    Question 3
    Well i guess if the game is about climate change than it can teaches us about how it works. If we play the climate change video game than it can teach us about climate change. If we can make a game then everyone would want to play so that they could learn more about climate change

    Question 4
    Yes kids can teach adult s about it they can tell them what it is and how it works. Or they could show them how it works with a modle. They could get them online and show you a picture of it

  33. 1.)The best thing about having a pen pal who are working on climate change is that there is someone else to help you if you need help on the subject. Also that there is someone else to work with on the subject.plus they might know something more than me.

    2.) Some of the best things about PSA's about climate change that you make something cool that will help change the world. Also that it's really fun trying to make it easy to understand for kids. Plus it's fun making them.

    3.) Yes, because it is fun and you can learn to make a game or it make you smarter. Also that you learn some skills from games like typing. Plus you will have a little bit of social skills.

    4.) Yes kids can teach adults for stuff that I have learned in school that They never learned in school. Plus technology they didn't have is something that we use now. Also that cooking or discretion to some place.

    3. Yes we do and the things we put a lot of climate change and you pay attention to the game your playing and some games are educational
