The teacher and students meet online using google classroom.
(Students log into google classroom, which has been set up prior
by teacher) Students join online live discussion via voice and
text. The teacher greats students verbally and begins review
discussion about the major battles during WWI, eliciting student
input to complete a timeline document. After completing the
timeline and review, the teacher opens up a website (via screen
share) to https://www.historysimulation.com to show students
how to access the online WWI simulation. Afterwards, students
are asked to run the WWI simulation, using the before created
timeline to assist them in running various battles in the
European Theater of War. (ie. Battle of the Somme) The
simulation is randomized, allowing various outcomes. Students
would document which group Allies/Central Powers won which
battle, along with which new technological devices (ie. Tanks,
machine guns, mustard gas, airplane/bomber) where used, and
compare it to the timeline. Once students have finished running
the simulation (approx. 20-30 minutes), they will return to the
online chat to post their results and comparisons. The teacher
then guides a discussion in regards to the results, asking for
student input on which significant battles they thought had the
most accurate representation. In addition, new technologies
would be discussed and a comparison document made to see
which new inventions assisted both groups with winning the
battle. The teacher then combines the classes findings, timeline,
and notes to the google classroom, where students can access
the information for use on future projects, tests, and quizzes.
