Hanna found SIMA Classroom:

• Significantly improves teaching efficiency and productivity“As an English teacher, I use SIMA films to develop my students’ language skills, and also to start class discussion and motivate learners to become change agents. I aim to develop students’ global competence, soft skills, teach them to live successfully in diverse, globalized and rapidly changing world and raise active and responsible citizens. After watching “Nature Needs You” my students were inspired by the story of Australians protecting nature by working with their communities. This documentary motivated us to look for solutions of our local environmental problems. After watching “The Ark”, a 360 video about the endangered white rhinos, we understood the power of immersive storytelling and decided to use it in our campaign. Through the SIMA lesson plan “The Producer: My World 360 Challenge” my students were introduced to 360 media production. The learners’ script won a 360 media production kit from the Digital Promise Global. With it students made a 360 video showing the world through the eyes of a shelter dog. We believe that immersive video can convey feelings and emotions in a really powerful way. We disseminated our video in YouTube and social networks addressing a bigger audience, especially the youth, who find internet videos really engaging. Our video won the local youth media competition and was included in the MyWorld360 playlist.”
• Significantly improves teacher knowledge and skills“All documentaries from SIMA Classroom are accompanied with students' worksheets and extra links. The resources are up to date and have impact on teacher knowledge in methodology of using digital storytelling in the classroom.”
