Objectives Students will learn about changes that occurred in the New World and Old World as a result of early exploration. Older students only. Besides strange people and animals, they were exposed to many foods that were unknown in the Old World.
In this lesson, you might post an outline map of the continents on a bulletin board. On the bulletin board, draw an arrow from the New World the Americas to the Old World Europe, Asia, Africa and post around it drawings or images from magazines or clip art of products discovered in the New World and taken back to the Old World. You might draw a second arrow on the board -- from the Old World to the New World -- and post appropriate drawings or images around it.
Adapt the Lesson for Younger Students Younger students will not have the ability to research foods that originated in the New and Old World. You might adapt the lesson by sharing some of the food items in the Food Lists section below.
Have students collect or draw pictures of those items for the bulletin board display. Students might find many of those and add them to the bulletin board display. Notice that some items appear on both lists -- beans, for example.
There are many varieties of beans, some with New World origins and others with their origins in the Old World. In our research, we found sources that indicate onions originated in the New and sources that indicate onions originated in the Old World. Students might create a special question mark symbol to post next to any item for which contradictory sources can be found Note: The Food Timeline is a resource that documents many Old World products.
This resource sets up a number of contradictions. For example: Many sources note that tomatoes originated in the New World; The Food Timeline indicates that tomatoes were introduced to the New World in The Food Timeline indicates that strawberries and raspberries were available in the 1st century in Europe; other sources identify them as New World commodities.
Foods That Originated in the Old World: apples, bananas, beans some varieties , beets, broccoli, carrots, cattle beef , cauliflower, celery, cheese, cherries, chickens, chickpeas, cinnamon, coffee, cows, cucumbers, eggplant, garlic, ginger, grapes, honey honey bees , lemons, lettuce, limes, mangos, oats, okra, olives, onions, oranges, pasta, peaches, pears, peas, pigs, radishes, rice, sheep, spinach, tea, watermelon, wheat, yams.
Extension Activities Home-school connection. Have students and their parents search their food cupboards at home; ask each student to bring in two food items whose origin can be traced to a specific place foreign if possible, domestic if not. Labels from those products will be sufficient, especially if the products are in breakable containers.
Media literacy. Virtual reality may not make it into every classroom in 10 years, but specialized use for job training is not out of the question. In the future, advanced goggles may be paired with haptic suits, which allow the wearer to feel sensations like touch or vibration. Zoom very much sees itself as one day innovating on personalized learning in a substantial way, although beyond breakout rooms and instant translation services, they have few concrete ideas in mind.
Mostly, the company says it will be working to add more choices to how teachers can present materials and how students can display mastery to teachers in realtime. How do you recreate more natural occurrences: the hallway conversation, sitting on the grass at lunch and talking. What are other ways we can bring people together? Stephen Noonoo stephenoonoo is K editor at EdSurge where he frequently works with contributing writers. Kids are going to be learning more on the move, mobile learning, literally on their way to school and back from school.
Learning at home, learning in the bedroom, library, shopping malls, and cafes. They're all going to be spaces where school will take place, even though you won't be in a school,' he says. Despite this, Selwyn agrees that there will still be an ongoing need for schools in the community. You can't do that in a virtual school. But having said that, I do think we're going to have more online classes, so blended learning.
So you have a physical school with kids sometimes doing online classes and there will be virtual options as well. But I think it's really important that the education sector makes a strong case for the added value of having a trained, professional, expert teachers in the classroom because there are a lot of people who want to get rid of teachers ….
You will still have an adult in the classroom but often they may not necessarily be a trained, expert, professional teacher,' he says. Artificial intelligence AI is likely to be much more prominent in school in 10 years' time, but Selwyn says teachers shouldn't think of it as some sort of magic. Selwyn says it's likely we'll have data collection in classrooms that look at learner's behaviour, tracking what they do through videos and the way they interact with their devices.
AI might also be able to generate data on a learner's moods and emotions. And then you can use that data to then, as I say, make decisions and predictions and try and nudge students into doing things,' he says. Selwyn says we'll definitely have personalised learning systems that will recommend content and how to best approach it.
AI will be also be used to give ongoing feedback to help the learner to make better decisions. Here is what education will look like in 10 years according to Gates and Khan:. People are equipped with unique learning styles: some are visual learners, while some rely on their auditory capacity.
Unfortunately, the traditional setting only utilizes a generic approach. Inspiring him to do so is Salman Khan, founder of the Khan Academy, which is perhaps the first website to provide personalized learning programs to interested participants. There is no way students can absorb their lessons in a single run.
Some only rely on their scribbled notes and vague recollections, most of which are unreliable ways to master the subject. In the next years or so, this problem will no longer exist. Gates and Khan are currently promoting the use of video for open education. These videos can be paused and replayed, as required by students.
