Grokking into the Future

This simulation challenges mature gifted students to develop coping skills for the future. The students enter Terra Futura through a time warp to meet Hetero-Friday, the state computer. They become the brain trust of the Interplanetary Council, as they are transported 25 years into the future every time they meet. Their goal is to investigate the problems that the future is presenting for their homelands. You will find step-by-step lesson plans for 18 hours of teacher-led instruction, nine learning centers with 29 multidisciplinary activities, and a guide to future problem solving; cross-impact and Delphi matrices; future wheels; and trend and systems analysis.Doherty, Edith J.
