Patrick Parrish (WMO) and Maja Kuna (EUMETSAT).
In this game-base workshop, teams of players will compete to create ideas for learning activities for training a variety of meteorology skills. The team with the most activities submitted and the team with the highest-rated activity overall will win the competition.Teams will first choose 3 topics to work with from a list provided. They then spin the "Wheel of Learning Solutions" to decide the format for the training (Classroom, Online Synchronous, or Online Asynchronous). Finally, they will work together come up with ideas for using up to 7 (or more) types of learning activities. Each of the learning activities represents a useful tactic to engage students in applying what they learn, or in thinking deeply about what they are learning.
Learnopoly players should expect to commit up to 2-3 hours during the week of 13 October contributing to their team's effort. Are you up to the challenge? We think you are. And we think you will have fun playing while you learn about the fun and challenge of designing active learning approaches.
Language-based teams are welcome! Just let us know. Español, français, Indonesian... you will need at least 4-5 people on your team, and must submit your final activities in English so everyone can read them.

Learning solutions is a term we use to describe the modes of training delivery available to us (e.g., online learning or classroom) and the environments we create that provide opportunities to learn (e.g., a course, self-directed study, on-the-job mentoring or coaching). One step in planning training is to make a decision about which learning solutions you will apply.

"People play everywhere except in school" is a quote from Playing to learn: using games as an educational tool provides opportunities for deeper learning. This short article is written about the potential power of using games in public education for children, but it applies equally to adults.
