Congratulations to Victoria Candida, a social studies teacher at Schenectady High School, who is a winner of a New York State Farm Teacher Assist Program Grant. She will receive $2,500 to implement her idea, a culturally responsive educational video game called "Liberation." The is being created with a focus on Latin American revolutionaries, wherein learners team up with people like Bolivar, L'Ouverture and San Martin to fight against their colonial oppressors.
"I think it will be a good opportunity for some virtual experiential learning and a great alternative to a conventional text book, reading or video," said Candida. "I am very honored to be receiving this money to make a program that will benefit our students."
