Global Kids' Online Leadership Program

TakingITGlobal recently posted to their site up a curriculum focused around Ayiti: The Cost of Life. The site has a series of lesson plans that relate to the game and the challenges that are faced daily in Haiti.

From their site:

Working with youth leaders at South Shore High School, Global Kids and Gamelab have developed Ayiti, a role-playing video game in which the player assumes the roles of family members living in rural Haiti. Over the course of the game, the player must choose among and balance various goals, such as achieving education, making money, staying healthy, and maintaining happiness while encountering unexpected events. The player must make many decisions that contribute to or detract from achieving his or her chosen goals.

TakingITGlobal is proud to partner with Global Kids to offer Ayiti on TIGed, a thematic classroom that connects the Ayiti game to a virtual classroom toolset, allowing educators to guide their students through a rich, interactive learning experience that includes Ayiti gameplay!
