Phyllis Francois replied to Jeff Kohls's discussion Global Terrorism Simulation"I think this is the way forward. Kids are aware of global terrorism and emotinally affected by it although they are not directly exposed to it. Your topic will definitely give children's perceptions of terrorism."
Jeff Kohls replied to Jeff Kohls's discussion Global Terrorism Simulation"That's great stuff. Cameron, is that something you can share?"
Cameron Foster replied to Jeff Kohls's discussion Global Terrorism Simulation"Geoffrey Robertson QC has an excellent 'hypothetical' for Terrorism. I adapted it and ran it with Year 9/10 - A great result - forced them to consider the decision making process, racial profiling etc in terrorism."
Kerri Schegan replied to Jeff Kohls's discussion Global Terrorism Simulation"You might also check with your local fire/police departments. Many of these departments have had some training thru Homeland Security and have run similar drills themselves."
John J Caprice replied to Jeff Kohls's discussion Global Terrorism Simulation"Dear Jeff,
Have you tried to contact Homeland Security or the FBI school?
I've spoken to people at both organizations and they are friendly and real people.

- Welcome to Cells in Education. I'm a fellow Coloradan, using cell phones at Delta Opportunity School. I'm also working on a prospectus for a book with ideas for using cell phone technologies to enhance teaching and learning. If you're willing to try some ideas and give some testimonials, that would be great.
