The United Nations’ Cyber School Bus offers teachers a large number and variety of free lessons plans. The Cyber Bus provides links to country profiles, background information and explanations of current hot topics at the UN, and free webcasts of UN meetings and conferences. Probably the best feature of the Cyber Bus is list of available free lessons plans appropriate for all grades. The list includes lessons that can be conducted online (web scavenger hunts and interactive models) and off line.
Applications for Educators
The list of lesson plans and information available on the Cyber School Bus is exhaustive and likewise the list of applications for educators is exhaustive. The Model UN program is a great way to integrate Humanities and Science into one lesson plan. The webcasts of UN meetings and conferences is a great complement to the Model UN program as the webcasts give students a better understanding of the workings of the United Nations. Below is an image of the four items I’ve mentioned today.
Mabasi ya Shule ya Mtandao ya Umoja wa Mataifa huwapa walimu idadi kubwa na aina mbalimbali za mipango ya masomo ya bure. Cyberbus hutoa viungo kwa maelezo ya nchi, habari ya msingi na maelezo ya mada za sasa za moto katika Umoja wa Mataifa, na matangazo ya bure ya mikutano na mikutano ya Umoja wa Mataifa. Labda kipengele bora cha Cyber Bus ni orodha ya mipango ya masomo ya bure inapatikana sahihi kwa madarasa yote. Orodha hiyo inajumuisha masomo ambayo yanaweza kufanywa mtandaoni (watu wanaotafuta vitu mtandaoni na mifano ya maingiliano) na nje ya mtandao. Mifumo ya masomo na habari zinazopatikana kwenye Cyber School Bus ni kamili na vile vile orodha ya maombi kwa walimu ni kamili. Programu ya Model UN ni njia nzuri ya kuunganisha Sayansi na Sayansi katika mpango mmoja wa somo. Matangazo ya mikutano na mikutano ya Umoja wa Mataifa ni nyongeza kubwa kwa programu ya Model UN, kwani matangazo ya wavuti huwapa wanafunzi uelewa bora wa kazi ya Umoja wa Mataifa. Chini ni picha ya vitu vinne nimetaja leo.
