Citizens are being told what to do about COVID-19 by experts and politicians, with no understanding of what is happening. This webinar describes a COVID model that can be readily localized to any specific area. Join us - for free! #SystemDynamicssystemdynamics.org/event/loc…
We are sad to announce that DynamiQueST 2020 and the World Climate simulation on March 20 at WPI has been cancelled due to COVID19 precautions. For more on the use of SD to understand the spread of infections, stay tuned to the @WPISDclub , @CLEK12 and @IAcharterschool
Sullivan Middle School 7th grade student Alexandria Sotirakos displays her poster from her Climate Change ELA unit. We're thrilled to see student impact of our summer Climate Change PD in the Lowell Community! Enjoy February vacation students!

#OETC20 I'm presenting this morning on #Systems Thinking and Scientific Reasoning with Systems Dynamics Modeling in B140. We'll do some modeling, I'll show off some of my awesome students' models, and some of my own. Here are the presentation slides: docs.google.com/presentation…
Check out our latest paper: Participants who played the #ClimateAction Simulation were more likely to support systemic change & feel empowered to make a positive difference to address #climatechange.

Humans are interdependent with our ecosystems. In my Algal Blooms simulation you can play with nitrogen, phosphates, feedback loops, trophic cascades, algal blooms, fish kills, and catastrophic ecosystem changes. sites.google.com/site/biolog…
Thinking is not easy. From @stevejpearlman book, The Critical Thinking Initiative, "Formulaic thinking ultimately isn't thinking". I find teaching students how to reason and think critically the most important and the most difficult lessons.
Fascinating documentary about the team in 1972 that inspired my career. The Club of Rome project and "The Limits to Growth", with Dana Meadows, Dennis Meadows, and Jorgen Randers building on the work of Jay Forrester. vimeo.com/79405025?fbclid=Iw…
