The podcast I listened to was "How can Fourth-Graders Solve World Problems". It is about a teacher, named John Hunter, who brings his class together and makes a game of fixing 50 of worlds top problems. All the students become different leadership rolls and they have to work together to fix the worlds problems. Some of the problems they solve are social, economic, or war-fare. Some of the students have came back 20 to 30 years later to talk to their old fourth-grade teacher, John Hunter, and tell him how his class still had effect on them and eventually directed them to their careers. I thought this was a very cool idea and that more schools should try it out in their own classrooms!
