systems.

3. RESULTS
Students Will:
• learn real world skills like money management.
• find their areas of greatest strength and ability.
• get to experience historical decision-making,
rather than just read about it.

4. • You and your students choose any
app, program or platform, rather than
have it decided for you!
• You can incorporate Evernote, Google
Docs, Excel or your favorite platform.
Play the game and have your students
decide which app will help with each
activity!
• Have your students use social
networks to build friendships, alliances
and generate team spirit!
DECISION
MAKING
FROM THE
GROUND UP
• It’s the 21st Century. Why have
pre-determined programs when
your students should be figuring
out how to find and use these
tools for themselves. It's project
based learning. Have your
students build systems from the
bottom up.

6. TESTIMONIA
LS
“I'm going to be a history teacher, and when the time
comes, I'm going to want to use The Global Challenge
in my classroom. I figured I owe you a debt of gratitude
for helping me see where I was supposed to go in life.”
Thanks,
Joe Jacklin
“Mr. Chazen has organized and implemented a world history game that he created
to help stimulate student interest, learning, and participation in the study of world
history and world government. This active learning game greatly increased student
understanding, interest, retention, and participation in their study of world history.”
– Mr. Ross Gregory, former Principal of Galena High School
“Lee, I think the project is amazing! I like the way it
is set up so that the students are the ones writing
and answering the questions. Students will learn
more if they are the ones doing the research and
fact checking. I especially like the “game” like
atmosphere, with students making alliances and
treaties. I don’t think you can simulate anything
more real world. I am going to “tweak” it a little and
try it “ancient civilization style” with my 6th graders.
Thanks for allowing me a chance to read through it
and experiment with it.”
-- Kim Lander, Kansas City
