Technology has positively affected human life by solving problems associated with everyday life, and making it easier for different tasks to be completed. In the future, cutting edge technologies and accelerating change will provide us with challenges as well as opportunities. In fact, many children at school today will work in jobs that do not yet exist!
Through a PBL approach students will discover “How does technology impact our everyday life?”.
Students will investigate about technological innovations, its advantages and disadvantages, as well as the way it impacts the society, the environment and our health. Besides creating presentations, videos, posters and/or infographics, students will participate on STE(A)M activities and academic debates. They will collaborate on both national and international teams, tutored by the teachers.
The students works and conclusions will be compiled in a digital final product (ebook or emagazine).
