G2. Global Communities Inquiry Question: How are Global Communities affected by Pokémon Go?

Teachers should just provide students with the inquiry question and let students critically think of their own response to the question.

Positive and negative effects have just been brainstormed for the teacher's benefit when planning or thinking about their problem conceptually.

Postive Effects -Collaboration at public sites. -Health effects of walking or biking. -Strategic thinking. -Tourism. -Boost economy and business at certain public sites. -Interpersonal skills. -Understand geolocation gaming. - Exploration of the world. - -

Negative Effects -Privilege to city centres over rural areas. -Frustration with game when servers are down. -Dangerous lack of attention to traffic. -Potentially less care for the environment. -Huge time investment. -Unfair advantage to game release in only certain countries first. -Privileged game for people with data plan. -Potential bullying from competition at gyms. - -

Global communities connections: How do shared interests bring community together to a gathering point?

Gr. 2 Curriculum broad skill of Exploring: How has a shared global gaming community incited exploration of unlikely places?

Gr. 2 Social Studies Unit- Global communities connections Numeracy/Logic: Students can compare numerically the number of Pokémon caught when collaborating with others using a Lure/ Incense or when being the "lone wolf" and working alone. Spatial: Students would need to go out in the community to a Pokestop, which is placed on a public landmark like a mall, a historical building, or a park. How do shared interests bring community together to a gathering point? Interpersonal: Students can speak with other trainers to discuss tips. Naturalistic: Students can discuss the kinds of Pokemon that are "indigenous" to certain regions. How do the types of Pokémon (fire, water, air, electric) affect which region you venture into to find them (river, urban centre, wooded area)?

Interpersonal: Take Selfies with other trainers that you meet at Pokestops and talk about tips and tricks.

21st century skills: Collaboration made possible through gathering at Pokestops and setting a Lure.

Animals by region: What comparisons can be made with the types of Pokémon found by region?
